Answer:
Edison will be paid $15,112 for 3 months
Step-by-step explanation:
Edison receives an annual fixed pay = $45,448.
Monthly pay = 45,448/12 = $3787.33
3-month salary = $3787.33 *3 = $11.362
Commission = 15%
Total sale = $25,000 for the first 3 months.
Commission amount = 25,000*0.15 = $3750
Therefore, total pay that Edison received during first 3 months= salary + commission
= $11,362 + $3750
= $15,112
Thank you.

Answer:
Area pf the regular pentagon is 193
to the nearest whole number
Step-by-step explanation:
In this question, we are tasked with calculating the area of a regular pentagon, given the apothem and the perimeter
Mathematically, the area of a regular pentagon given the apothem and the perimeter can be calculated using the formula below;
Area of regular pentagon = 1/2 × apothem × perimeter
From the question, we can identify that the value of the apothem is 7.3 inches, while the value of the perimeter is 53 inches
We plug these values into the equation above to get;
Area = 1/2 × 7.3× 53 = 386.9/2 = 193.45 which is 193 to the nearest whole number
Answer: the speed of the boat on the lake is 9 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the speed of the boat on the lake or in still water.
The speed of the current in a river is 6 mph. This means that if the boat goes upstream against the speed of the current, its total speed would be (x - 6)mph. If the boat goes downstream against the speed of the current, its total speed would be (x + 6)mph.
Time = distance/ speed
Every day, his route takes him 22.5 miles each way against the current and back to his dock, and he needs to make this trip in a total of 9 hours. This means that the time taken to travel upstream is
22.5/(x - 6). The time taken to travel downstream is
22.5/(x + 6)
Since the total time is 9 hours, it means that
22.5/(x - 6) = 22.5/(x + 6)
Cross multiplying, it becomes
22.5(x + 6) + 22.5(x - 6) = 9
Multiplying through by (x + 6)(x - 6), it becomes
22.5(x - 6) + 22.5(x + 6) = 9[(x + 6)(x - 6)]
22.5x - 135 + 22.5x + 135 = 9(x² - 6x + 6x - 36)
22.5x + 22.5x = 9x² - 324
9x² - 45x - 324 = 0
Dividing through by 9, it becomes
x² - 5x - 36 = 0
x² + 4x - 9x - 36 = 0
x(x + 4) - 9(x + 4) = 0
x - 9 = 0 or x + 4 = 0
x = 9 or x = - 4
Since the speed cannot be negative, then x = 9
