The garage is 1800 sq feet.

Answer:

1800 sq ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the amount of space in the garage.

We know that he is estimating 6 sq ft per person, for 15 people; this gives us

6(15) = 90 sq ft.

This is 5% of the total, x; 5% = 5/100 = 0.05; this gives us 0.05x.

Together these give us the equation

0.05x = 90

Divide both sides by 0.05:

0.05x/0.05 = 90/0.05

x = 1800

Hey can some one help me with this
Leno4ka [110]
Hello!

First you have to find the surface area of what he is painting

Finding the areas of all the rectangles he is painting

14 * 8 = 112
14 * 8 = 112
12 * 8 = 96
12 * 8 = 96
12 * 14 = 168

Add all these up

112 + 112 + 96 + 96 + 168 = 584

Divide this by the amount of area a pint of paint covers

584 / 90 = 6.4888...

He needs 7 pints of paint because he needs more than 6

Multiply this by the cost of 1 pint of pint

7 * 7.98 = 55.86

The answer is $55.86

Hope this helps!

Ramona is a saleswoman whose base plus commissions amounted to $52,561 last year. If her base pay was $23,960 and she made $77,3
Ksju [112]

Answer:

37%

Step-by-step explanation:

If Ramona received an overall pay of $52,561 last year, $23,960 of which was base pay, we can first subtract these two numbers to find the amount she made from her sales commission:

$52,561 - $23,960 = $28,601

In order to find her percent commission, we can set up a proportion:

\frac{p}{100}=\frac{28,601}{77,300}, where 'p' is her rate of commission

Cross-multiply and divide:  100(28601) = 77300x or 2,860,100 = 77,300x

Or x = 37%
