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

Answer:

Therefore, Kevin spent $56.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the Kevin bought 2 pairs of jeans that were originally $40 per pair but were each marked down by $15 and 3 t-shirts for $12 each. He also used a coupon for $10 off his entire purchase.  

Therefore, we have 2 pairs of jeans for $15 and 3 t-shirts for $12 each and a coupon for $10 off his entire purchase.

We calculate the total amount he spent.

2\cdot 15+3\cdot 12-10=30+36-10=56

Therefore, Kevin spent $56.

To convert our number to scientific notation, we are going to move the decimal point to the right until we have only one non-zero digit to the left of the decimal point, and then, we are going to multiply that number by a negative power of 10 equal to the number of times we moved the decimal point to the right:
<span>
Our number is 0.000000016, so we need to move the decimal point 8 times to the right to have </span>only one non-zero digit to the left of the decimal point (1.6). Since we moved the decimal point eight times to the right, we are going to multiply 1.6 by y a negative power of 10 equal to the number of times we moved the decimal point to the right i.e. 10^{-8}.
So 0.000000016 expressed in scientific notation is 1.6x10^-8, or in calculator notation 1.6E-8

We can conclude that the correct answers are <span>1.6E-8 and </span><span>1.6 × 10-8</span>
