Answer:

a) If Sales = $6412454, then Gross Pay = $471315.369.

If Sales = $412454, then Gross Pay = $30315.369.

b) If Sales = $316250, then Gross Pay = $23244.375.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a simple question. Madelyn earns a commission plus a bonus from her job. The commission is 7% of sales and the bonus is 5% of the commission. Therefore:

a) If her sales are $6412454, then her gross pay will include:

Gross Pay = $6412454 * 7% + ($6412454 * 7%) * 5%.

Gross Pay = $448871.78 + $22443.589 .

Gross Pay = $471315.369.

I assume there is a typo in the question, so just in case, I will also calculate the gross pay for her sales equaling $412454.

Gross Pay = $412454 * 7% + ($412454 * 7%) * 5%.

Gross Pay = $28871.78 + $1443.589 .

Gross Pay = $30315.369.

b) If her sales are $316250, then her gross pay will include:

Gross Pay = $316250 * 7% + ($316250 * 7%) * 5%.

Gross Pay = $22137.5 + $1106.875 .

Gross Pay = $23244.375.

To summarize:

If Sales = $6412454, then Gross Pay = $471315.369!!!

If Sales = $412454, then Gross Pay = $30315.369!!!

If Sales = $316250, then Gross Pay = $23244.375!!!

I’m really confused on what the answer is supposed to be

kozerog [31]

Answer:

-4 < x < -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Taking the left part of the inequality :

8 > 4 - x
x > -4

Taking the right part of the inequality :

4 - x > 6
-x > 2
x < -2

Solution :

-4 < x < -2

Graph the function y = 2x3 – x2 – 4x + 5. To the nearest tenth, over which interval is the function decreasing?

daser333 [38]

As you progress in math, it will become increasingly important that you know how to express exponentiation properly.

y = 2x3 – x2 – 4x + 5 should be written y = 2^x3 – x^2 – 4^x + 5. The
" ^ " symbol denotes exponentiation.

I see you're apparently in middle school. Is that so? If so, are you taking calculus already? If so, nice!

Case 1: You do not yet know calculus and have not differentiated or found critical values. Sketch the function y = 2x^3 – x^2 – 4^x + 5, including the y-intercept at (0,5). Can you identify the intervals on which the graph appears to be increasing and those on which it appears to be decreasing?

Case 2: You do know differentiation, critical values and the first derivative test. Differentiate y = 2x^3 – x^2 – 4^x + 5 and set the derivative = to 0:

dy/dx = 6x^2 - 2x - 4 = 0. Reduce this by dividing all terms by 2:

dy/dx = 3x^2 - x - 2 = 0 I used synthetic div. to determine that one root is x = 2/3. Try it yourself. This leaves the coefficients of the other factor, (3x+3); this other factor is x = 3/(-3) = -1. Again, you should check this.

Now we have 2 roots: -1 and 2/3

Draw a number line. Locate the origin (0,0). Plot the points (-1, 0) and (2/3, 0). This subdivides the number line into 3 subintervals:

(-infinity, -1), (-1, 2/3) and (2/3, infinity).

Choose a test number from each interval and subst. it for x in the derivative formula above. If the derivative comes out +, the function is increasing on that interval; if -, the function is decreasing.

Ask all the questions you want, if this explanation is not sufficiently clear.

Mei and Alberto are selling cookie dough. Mei sold 11 packages of chocolate chip and 12 packages of gingerbread for a total of $

ycow [4]

Answer:

The price of a package of chocolate chip is $13.25

The price of a package of gingerbread is $17.18

Step-by-step explanation:

11x + 12y = 352

10x +8y = 270

Let "x" be the price of a package of chocolate chip.

Let "y" be the price of a package of gingerbread.

11x + 12y = 352(Multiply the 1st row by 10)

10x +8y = 270 (Multiply the 2nd row by 11)

-------------------

110x + 120y = 3520

110x +88y = 2970

--------------------------

3y = 550

y =550/3

y = 17.1875

The price of a package of gingerbread "y" is $17.18

Let's pick the first equation "110x + 120y = 3520"

110x + 120y = 3520

110x+ 120(17.1875)= 3520

110x+2062.5=3520

110x=3520−2062.5

110x=1457.5

x= 1457.5/110

x=13.25

The price of a package of chocolate chip is $13.25
