5.5% as a multiple is 0.055
So 700 x 0.055= $38.50 in commission
475 (standard pay) + 38.50 (commission) = $513.50 in that week

sammy [17]

The standard compound interest formula is

Future value after x years with an annual interest of i

=Present Value (1+i)^x [which is an exponential function]

for given present value of $360. interest=0.03 (3%) and a total of x years, above equation reduces to

Future value after x years

=360(1.03^x)

lesantik [10]

For this case we have the following expression:

$\frac {3} {4} (\frac {1} {2} x-12) + \frac {4} {5}$

Rewriting the expression we have:

We apply distributive property to the terms of parentheses:

$\frac {3} {8} x- \frac {36} {4} + \frac {4} {5}\\\frac {3} {8} x-9 + \frac {4} {5}\\\frac {3} {8} x- \frac {41} {5}\\$

Answer:

$\frac {3} {8} x- \frac {41} {5}$

The lengths of two sides of a right triangle are 5 inches and 8 inches. What is the difference between the two possible

3241004551 [841]

Answer:

Option 2 - 3.2 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The lengths of two sides of a right triangle are 5 inches and 8 inches.

To find : What is the difference between the two possible lengths of the third side of the triangle?

Solution :

According to question, it is a right angle triangle

Applying Pythagoras theorem,

$H^2=P^2+B^2$

Where, H is the hypotenuse the longer side of the triangle

P is the perpendicular

B is the base

Assume that H=8 inches and B = 5 inches

Substitute the value in the formula,

$8^2=P^2+5^2$

$64=P^2+25$

$P^2=64-25$

$P^2=39$

$P=\sqrt{39}$

$P=6.24$

Assume that P=8 inches and B = 5 inches

Substitute the value in the formula,

$H^2=8^2+5^2$

$H^2=64+25$

$H^2=89$

$H=\sqrt{89}$

$H=9.43$

Therefore, The possible length of the third side of the triangle is

$L=H-P$

$L=9.43-6.24$

$L=3.19$

Therefore, The difference between the two possible lengths of the third side of the triangle is 3.2 inches.

So, Option 2 is correct.
