His hourly rate is $13.75.

Let x be the hourly rate.  Since he works 20 hours that week, the hourly wages are given by 20x.  We add to that his commission, which is 16% of the $1500 in sales, or 0.16(1500).  This totals to 515:

20x + 0.16(1500) = 515
20x + 240 = 515

Subtract 240 from both sides:
20x + 240 - 240 = 515 - 240
20x = 275

Divide both sides by 20:
20x/20 = 275/20
x = 13.75.

If s(x) = x – 7 and t(x) = 4x2 – x + 3, which expression is equivalent to (ToS) (x)
Gnoma [55]
In order to find the expression that is equivalent to (t*s)(x), use the following steps:
s(x) = x - 7t(x) = 4x^2 - x + 3
(t*s)(x) = t(s(x)) = t(x - 7) = 4(x - 7)^2 - (x - 7) + 3 = 4(x - 7)^2 - x + 7 + 3
The correct result would be 4(x – 7)2 – (x – 7) + 3.
