Answer:

he has to make a sale of $750

Step-by-step explanation:

first job pays $880 per week

second job pays $790 per week

amount first job is paying more=$(880-790)

=$90

therefore,12% should $90 if he wants to make an equal amount as the first job is paying therefore,sale he has to do

12% of x=$90

12/100*x=$90

x=90*100/12

x=9000/12

x=$750

thus he has to make a sale of $750 to earn a 12% comission of $90

I’ve been stuck on this question since beginning of my freshman year! Someone please explain how to do this please??!
dexar [7]

Hi!

There might be different variations into how anyone would approach this problem but this is by far an easy way for me.

In order to solve fractional relationships with a variable, a perfect way to solve them would be to cross multiply and make them equal to each other.

You see the part '3y+12', and when you criss cross over to the other side of the equation, you get three. Multiply that together.

When you see the part '6', when you glide diagonally, you find '4y'. Multiply this together as well. Make them equal to each other.

(<em>This is how you do cross multiplication.)</em>

You should get something like this:

3(3y+12)=6(4y)              Distribute the three on the left side and multiply. Do the same on the right.

9y+36=24y                    Now, you can combine like terms by subtracting 9y to the other side.

36=15y                           Isolate y and divide it by 15.

y=2.4

I was unclear of the answer, so I plugged in 2.4 into the original equation where the y variable was, and got the right answer, so 2.4 should be the correct one no matter how you got it.

I hope this helped!

A person standing cloes to the edge on the top of a 200-foot building throws a baseball vertically upward. The quadratic functio
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

See below in bold.

Step-by-step explanation:

A).  s(t)= -16t^2+64t+200

Converting to vertex form.

s(t) = -16 (t^2 - 4t) + 200

s(t) =  -16 [(t - 2)^2 - 4] + 200

s(t) = -16(t - 2)^2 + 64 + 200

s(t) =  -16(t - 2)^2 + 264

The maximum height is after 2 seconds and it is 264 feet.

B) The ball hits the ground when s(t) = 0 so we have:

-16t^2+64t+200 = 0

x [-64 +/- sqrt (64^2 - 4*-16*200) ] / -32

x = 6.06, -2.06

So the answer is 6.06 seconds.

What is the area of this triangle in the coordinate plane? 5 units² 6 units² 7 units² 12 units²
kramer

Given:

A right triangle on a coordinate plane.

To find:

The area of a triangle.

Solution:

We know that, the area of a triangle is

A=\dfrac{1}{2}\times Base \times Height

From the given figure it is clear that the base of the triangle is 4 units and the height is 3 units. So, the area of the given triangle is

A=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 4 \times 3

A=\dfrac{12}{2}

A=6

The area of the given triangle is 6 units². Therefore, the correct option is B.
