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>

Answer:

c) The growth factor per days is 1.08

e) The growth factor per hour is 1.08^{1/24}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

P(d) = 10 * 1.08^{d} in thousands.

a. To find the number of insects on day 1;

Day, d = 1

P(d) = 10 * 1.08^{d} ......equation 1

Substituting into the formula, we have;

P(1) = 10 * 1.08^{1}

P(1) = 10 * 1.08

P(1) = 10.08

Therefore, option (a) and (b) are incorrect.

c. To find the growth factor per day;

An exponential function is given by the formula;

y = mg^{x} .....equation 2

Where;

g is the growth factor of a population.

Comparing eqn 2 with eqn 1;

g = 1.08

Therefore, option (c) is correct.

e. To find growth factor per hour;

From equation 1 above;

P(1) = 10 * 1.08^{\frac {1}{2}}

Therefore, option e is correct.

Hakeem's frog made three quick jumps. The first was 1 meter. The second jump was 85 centimeters. The third jump was 400 millimet
anzhelika [568]
1 meter = 100 cm
85 cm
1 mm = 0.1 cm, so 400 mm = (400 x 0.1) = 40 cm

100 + 85 + 40 = 225 cm <== total length
