Whatever% of anything is just (whatever/100) * anything.

now, we know Trever makes $500 in salary and 2% on sales, let's say he sells "x" amount, how much is 2% of x?  well (2/100) * x, or 0.02x.

Therefore Trever's earnings are 500 + 0.02x, his salary plus his commission.

to earn a total of 2,000, then 500 + 0.02x = 2000, thus

\bf 500+0.02x=2000\implies 0.02x=1500\implies x=\cfrac{1500}{0.02}\\\\\\ x=75000

1.2÷0.375−0.2/6 4/25 ÷15 2/5 +0.8 = 0.016÷0.12+0.7/x <br><br> pls solve for x with explaination
masha68 [24]

The value of x is 0.1810

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation as;

1.2÷0.375 - 0.2/6 * 4/25 ÷ 15 2/5 +0.8 = 0.016 ÷ 0.12 +0.7/x

This can be written as;

1.2÷0.375-0.4/75÷77/5+0.8=0.016÷0.12+0.7/x

Apply BODMAS style (Brackets, Of, Division,Multiplication,Addition and Subtraction) where in this case you start with division

(1.2÷0.375)-(0.4÷75) ÷ 77/5 +0.8 = (0.016÷0.12) +0.7/x

3.2 - 0.00533 ÷ 15.4 +0.8 =0.133+0.7/x

3.2-0.0003461+0.8=0.133+0.7/x---------------apply addition

3.2+0.8 -0.0003461-0.133=0.7/x

4-0.0003461-0.133=0.7/x

3.867=0.7/x

0.7/3.867=x

0.1810=x

The table shows how an elevator 500 feet above the ground is descending at a steady rate.
Snezhnost [94]
We are given that the elevator is descending, so the coefficient of t must be negative. The elevator's initial position is 500 feet above the ground, so this is a positive value of +500. Therefore the only choice that fits these is h(t) = -5t + 500.

Sherry has a standard deck of cards. The deck has 52 total cards and contains 4 suits: hearts, clubs, diamonds, and spades. Each
tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

c) Events A and B are independent events.

The outcomes of events A and B are dependent on each other.

P(A and B)=P(A)•P(B)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total number, n = 52

Each suit contains 13 cards: 2 to 10, a jack, a queen, a king, and an ace.

Since there are 4 suits, it means the number of each card is four.

P(A) = event of picking a king

P(B) = event of picking a 3

Therefore the probability of picking a king = P(A) = \frac{4}{52}

Probability of picking a 3 = P(B) = \frac{4}{52}

Since only a card is picked, the probability a king is picked after picking a 3 is 0.

i.e P(A|B) = 0 ≠ P(A) = \frac{4}{52}

option A is wrong

The probability a 3 is picked after picking a king is 0.

i.e P(B | A) = 0 ≠ P(B) = \frac{4}{52}

option B is wrong

Events A and B are independent events.

The outcomes of events A and B are dependent on each other.

P(A and B)=P(A)•P(B)

Option C is correct.
