Mathematics

Bess [88]3 years ago

Answer:

<u>John's commission percentage on new cars is x and his commission percentage on used cars is 1.5x, therefore, John's commission percentage on new cars is 2% and his commission percentage on used cars is 3%.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information provided to us to answer the question correctly:

John's commission percentage on new cars = x

John's commission percentage on used cars = x + 50%x (His commission on used cars is 50% more  than on new cars)

Sales on new cars = $80,000

Sales on used cars = $50,000

John's commission check = $3,100

2. If x represents the commission percentage on new cars, express the commission percentage  on used cars in terms of x.

John's commission percentage on new cars = x

John's commission percentage on used cars = x + 50%x = 1.5x

Now we can solve for x, this way:

80,000x + 50,000 * 1.5x = 3,100

80,000x + 75,000x = 3,100

155,000x = 3,100

x = 3,100/155,000

x = 0.02 = 2% ⇒ 1.5x = 3%

<u>John's commission percentage on new cars is 2% and his commission percentage on used cars is 3%</u>

1 -  \sqrt{x}  \neq \: 0 \\  \\  \therefore \: 1 \neq \sqrt{x}  \\  \\  {1}^{2}  \neq ({ \sqrt{x}) }^{2}  \\  \\ 1 \neq \: x \\

Hence, x will take values other than 1.

Will the ball clear the crossbar of the goal post, which is 10 feer off the fround.
Allisa [31]

The problem gives you X, so replace X witht he given vaule and solve for y:


y = -0.1x^2 + 4X

X = 40

y = -0.1(40)^2 +4(40)

y = -0.1(1600) + 160

y = -160 + 160

y = 0

the population of the city in north carolina is 403,892 what is 403,892 rounded to the nearest thousand
Thepotemich [5.8K]
403, 892 rounded to the nearest thousand is 404,000.

The three is in the thousands place, and the 8 in the hundreds place tells us us to round up. The three becomes a 4 and everything behind it a 0. :)
