Ok......... so ignore the pay part, that is not his pay but the 8% comission inclusive of the tax
If the matrix is of 2 by 2 then we can find the determinant of the matrix.
![\begin{bmatrix}a & b\\ c & d\end{bmatrix}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Cbegin%7Bbmatrix%7Da%20%26%20b%5C%5C%20c%20%26%20d%5Cend%7Bbmatrix%7D%20)
Then (ad - bc ) gives you the determinant of the matrix.
For example,
![\begin{bmatrix} 2 & 4\\ 1 & -2 \end{bmatrix}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Cbegin%7Bbmatrix%7D%202%20%26%204%5C%5C%20%201%20%26%20-2%20%5Cend%7Bbmatrix%7D%20)
= (2)(-2) - (1)(4)
= - 4 - 4
= -8
Answer:
she makes $22.80 a day
Step-by-step explanation:
since she makes $0.57 per box and averages at 40 boxes a day, we multiply 40 and 0.57. 40 x 0.57 = 22.8, or $22.80.
hope this helped!
