Answer:

4.25%

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Calculate the commission paid</u>

<em>Commission = Gross earning - base salary</em>

<em>Commission = 441.3 - 375</em>

Commission = 66.3

<u>Step 2: Calculate the commission sales</u>

<em>Commission sales = Total sales - quota sales</em>

<em>Commission sales = 6560 - 5000</em>

Commission sales = 1560

<u>Step 3: Calculate the rate of commission</u>

<em>x% of 1560 = 66.3</em>

<em>x% * 1560 = 66.3</em>

<em>x% = 0.0425</em>

x = 4.25%

Therefore, the rate of commission was 4.25%.

One more question on this test guys. please answer as fast as possible. If you do,

GaryK [48]

1. The given rectangular equation is $x=2$ .

We substitute $x=r\cos \theta$ .

$r\cos \theta=2$

Divide through by $\cos \theta$

$r=\frac{2}{\cos \theta}$

$r=2}\sec \theta$

$\boxed{x=2\to r=2\sec \theta}$

2. The given rectangular equation is:

$x^2+y^2=36$

This is the same as:

$x^2+y^2=6^2$

We use the relation $r^2=x^2+y^2$

This implies that:

$r^2=6^2$

$\therefore r=6$

$\boxed{x^2+y^2=36\to r=6}$

3. The given rectangular equation is:

$x^2+y^2=2y$

This is the same as:

We use the relation $r^2=x^2+y^2$ and $y=r\sin \theta$

This implies that:

$r^2=2r\sin \theta$

Divide through by r

$r=2\sin \theta$

$\boxed{x^2+y^2=2y\to r=2\sin \theta}$

4. We have $x=\sqrt{3}y$

We substitute $y=r\sin \theta$ and $x=r\cos \theta$

$r\cos \theta=r\sin \theta\sqrt{3}$

This implies that;

$\tan \theta=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}$

$\theta=\frac{\pi}{6}$

$\boxed{x=\sqrt{3}y\to \theta=\frac{\pi}{6}}$

5. We have $x=y$

We substitute $y=r\sin \theta$ and $x=r\cos \theta$

$r\cos \theta=r\sin \theta$

This implies that;

$\tan \theta=1$

$\theta=\frac{\pi}{4}$

$\boxed{x=y\to \theta=\frac{\pi}{4}}$

Use the distributive property to write the next step in simplifying the equation. Use the asterisk symbol (*) to represent multi

Maksim231197 [3]

Given:

The equation is:

$x(4+5)=54$

To find:

The next step in simplifying the equation by using distributive property.

Solution:

Distributive property: According to this property if a, b and c are three real numbers, then

$a(b+c)=ab+ac$

We have,

$x(4+5)=54$

Using the distributive property, we get

$x(4)+x(5)=54$

It can be written as:

$4x+5x=54$

Therefore, the next step of the simplification is $4x+5x=54$ .

The perimeter of a rectangular garden is 42 feet. The length of the garden is 5 feet more than twice the width. Find the length

zlopas [31]

Answer:

W=5.3, l= 15.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a rectangle p=2(l+w)

P= 42

W= x

L= 5+2x therefore 42=2(5+2x+x)

42=10+6x , 32=6x

Make x subject of formula

X=32/6 x=5.3 there for w=5.3

Where L= 5+2x ; L=5+2(5.3)

L therefore = 15.6

If 47400 dollars is invested at an interest rate of 7 percent per year, find the value of the investment at the end of 5 years f

Anni [7]

Answer:

Part A) Annual $\$66,480.95$

Part B) Semiannual $\$66,862.38$

Part C) Monthly $\$67,195.44$

Part D) Daily $\$67,261.54$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The compound interest formula is equal to

$A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}$

where

A is the Final Investment Value

P is the Principal amount of money to be invested

r is the rate of interest in decimal

t is Number of Time Periods

n is the number of times interest is compounded per year

so

Part A) Annual

in this problem we have

$t=5\ years\\ P=\$47,400\\ r=0.07\\n=1$

substitute in the formula above

$A=\$47,400(1+\frac{0.07}{1})^{1*5}$

$A=\$47,400(1.07)^{5}$

$A=\$66,480.95$

Part B) Semiannual

in this problem we have

$t=5\ years\\ P=\$47,400\\ r=0.07\\n=2$

substitute in the formula above

$A=\$47,400(1+\frac{0.07}{2})^{2*5}$

$A=\$47,400(1.035)^{10}$

$A=\$66,862.38$

Part C) Monthly

in this problem we have

$t=5\ years\\ P=\$47,400\\ r=0.07\\n=12$

substitute in the formula above

$A=\$47,400(1+\frac{0.07}{12})^{12*5}$

$A=\$47,400(1.0058)^{60}$

$A=\$67,195.44$

Part D) Daily

in this problem we have

$t=5\ years\\ P=\$47,400\\ r=0.07\\n=365$

substitute in the formula above

$A=\$47,400(1+\frac{0.07}{365})^{365*5}$

$A=\$47,400(1.0002)^{1,825}$

$A=\$67,261.54$
