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%.

snow_lady [41]

Answer:

25 sheets of plywood will be needed

Step-by-step explanation:

Each sheet of plywood measures 4ft*8ft=32ft^{2}.

We have to cover the surface of the house, minus the surface of the hole of the stairs.

Surface _{to cover} = Surface _{house} -Surface _{hole}= (28ft*30ft)-(12ft*4ft)= 840ft^{2}-48ft^{2}=792ft^{2}

To know how many sheets will be needed, we divide the surface to be covered by the surface of each sheet

Sheets_{needed} =\frac{Surface _{house}}{Surface _{sheet}} =\frac{792ft^{2}}{32\frac{ft^{2}}{sheet} } = 24,75 sheets

As we can't buy 0,75 of a sheet, we round it up, i.e. we will need 25 sheets of plywood for subflooring.

A sign standing 6 feet tall is situated 18 feet away from a flag pole. at a certain time of day the sign's shadow is 3 feet long
alexdok [17]
Observe attached picture.

On picture we have:
A = height of flagpole = x ft
B = length of flagpole's shadow = 24 ft
C = height of sign = 6 ft
D = length of sign's shadow = 3 ft

When we draw a picture representing this problem we can also add another line marked in red. This way we can see that we have two right-angle triangles. We can see that both have same angle marked with α.

We can apply trigonometry rules to find height of flagpole.

From small triangle containing sign we can find tangens function:
tan \alpha = \frac{C}{D}
Similarly we can do for large triangle containing flagpole:
tan \alpha = \frac{A}{B}

We see that these two equations have same left sides. This means that their right sides must also be same:
\frac{C}{D} = \frac{A}{B}
We can solve for A:
CB=AD \\ A= \frac{CB}{D}  \\ A= \frac{6*24}{3}  \\ A=48 ft

Height of flagpole is 48 feet.
