Answer:

18 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

You know that 15cm burns in 6 hours. That means that for every 15cm that burns after that, it will be another 6 hours for each.

This gives us the means to find out how long it takes for the 45 cm candle to burn.

We want to know how many 15 cm candles fit into this 45 cm candle. To do this, we must divide: 45 ÷ 15 in order to find how how many 15 cm and 6 hour-burning candles make up the 45 cm candle

45 ÷ 15 = 3, so 3 candles, each of which take 6 hours to burn, fit into the candle

Now, all we have to do is multiply 6 by 3 in order to find out how many hours it takes for 3 candles to burn!

6 • 3 = 18, so it will take 18 hours for the candle to burn

Mrs. Robinson, an insurance agent, earns a salary of $4,800 per year plus a 3% commission on her sales. The average price of a p
kap26 [50]

Answer:

4800+183x\geq 8000

She must sell at least 18 policies to make an annual income of at least $8,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of policies Mrs. Robinson must sell

We know that Mrs. Robins makes 3% on commission for each policy sold. We also know that the average price of a policy is $6,100, so she makes 3% of $6,100 per policy sold. To find the 3% of $6,100 we just need to multiply 3% and $6,100; then dive the result by 100%:

\frac{3*6,100}{100} =183

Now we know that she makes $183 per policy sold. Since x is the number of policies sold, 183x is her total commission for selling x policies.

We also know that She makes $4,800 per year, so her total annual income is her salary plus her commissions, in other words:

4800+183x

Finally, we know that she wants to make at least $8,000, so her salary plus her commissions must be greater or equal than $8,000:

4800+183x\geq 8000

Let's solve the inequality:

1. Subtract 4800 from both sides

4800-4800+183x\geq 8000-4800

183x\geq 3200

2. Divide both sides by 183

\frac{183x}{183} \geq \frac{3200}{183}

x\geq 17.48

Since she can't sell a fraction of a policy, we must round the result to the next integer:

x\geq 18

We can conclude that she must sell 18 policies to make an annual income of at least $8,000.
