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.

Answer:

19.2 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of Bananas consumed in US per year = 5.77 million metric tons

Since 1 million = 10^{6} and 1 metric ton = 1000 kg, we can write:

Amount of Bananas consumed in US per year = 5.77 \times 10^{6} metric tons

Amount of Bananas consumed in US per year = 5.77 \times 10^{6} \times 1000 = 5.77 \times 10^{9} kg

Number of people in US = 301 million = 301 \times 10^{6}= 3.01 \times 10^{8}

We have to find how many kilograms of bananas are consumed per person in 1 year in US. For this we have to divide the total amount of bananas eaten in US per year with total number of people in US, which will be:

\frac{5.77 \times 10^{9}}{3.01 \times 10^{8}} \\\\ = 19.2

This means, 19.2 kilograms of bananas are eaten in US per person in a year.

Why is it valid to say that both a function and its inverse describe the same relationship
liberstina [14]
A comparison between a function and its inverse would show that the domain and range of the original function swap. The domain of the function becomes the range of the inverse, the range of the function becomes the domain of its inverse. 

Looking at ordered pairs of the function and its inverse would look like this:

(2,4) on the original function becomes (4,2) on the inverse. 

While the graph of a function and its inverse are noticeably different an important thing to note is that it is merely a reflection across the line y=x. 

So even though they appear different you are looking at the same relationship just as y vs. x instead of x vs. y

the point 3,2 lies on a circle.what is the exact length of the radius of this circle if the center is located at (-1,-4)
Crazy boy [7]
You can use the distance formula to solve this.

Distance Formula:
d = \sqrt{(X_2 -X_1)^2 + (Y_2 - Y_1)^2}

I am going to use point (3,2) as point 1 and (-1,-4) as point 2
Insert the points into the formula
d = \sqrt{(X_2 -X_1)^2 + (Y_2 - Y_1)^2}
d = \sqrt{((-1) - 3)^2 + ((-4) - 2)^2}
Solve:
d = \sqrt{((-1) - 3)^2 + ((-4) - 2)^2}
d = \sqrt{(-4)^2 + (-6)^2}
d = \sqrt{16 + 36}
d = \sqrt{52}
d = \sqrt{52} = \sqrt{4}\sqrt{13}
d = \sqrt{52} = 2 \sqrt{13}
d = 2 \sqrt{13}
radius = 2 \sqrt{13} = 7.2111

Find the circumference of a circle whose area is 247 ft2.
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

B is the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

A = πr²

24π = πr²

24 = r²

24 = r²

\sqrt{24} = r

r = \sqrt{4}\sqrt{6} = 2\sqrt{6}

C = 2πr

C = 2π(2\sqrt{6})

C = 4\sqrt{6}π
