Ace Cars says they will pay Jim a 10% commission on the sale price of each car. Budget Cars

Mathematics

Answer: The car has to sell for $20000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the price that the car would have to sell for in order for these two job opportunities to pay Jim the same amount.

Ace Cars says they will pay Jim a 10% commission on the sale price of each car. It means that his pay would be

10/100 × x = 0.1x

Budget Cars says they will pay him $500 per week plus a 7.5% commission on the sale price of each car. It means that his pay would be

500 + 0.075x

For boths pays to be the same, it means that

0.1x = 500 + 0.075x

0.1x - 0.075x = 500

0.025x = 500

x = 500/0.025

x = 20000

The car has to sell for $20000

Which radical expression in the picture is equivalent to t^5/8?
mixas84 [53]
<h3>Answer: Choice B</h3>

=========================================================

Explanation:

The rule we use is

\Large a^{m/n} = \sqrt[n]{a^m} = \left(\sqrt[n]{a}\right)^m

where 'a' is the base, m stays in the role of the exponent, and n plays the role of the root index (eg: n = 3 is a cube root, n = 4 is a fourth root, and so on).

So for instance,

\Large 2^{3/4} = \sqrt[4]{2^3} = \left(\sqrt[4]{2}\right)^3

or in this case,

\Large t^{5/8} = \sqrt[8]{t^5} = \left(\sqrt[8]{t}\right)^5

What is the lmc of two numbers that have no common factors greater then 1
Luba_88 [7]
We can take prime numbers so they don't have a common factor other than 1.

3, and 5.

So we have to list the multiples to find the LCM

3: 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18
5: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25

15 is the LCM of 3 and 5

So, you can notice that if two numbers, lets call them a and b, have no common factor, then a \times b is the LCM.

Hope that helped :)
