A percentage is a number out of 100.  So, 17.5% is really 17.5/100, or 0.175.

To find 17.5% of 1500, you multiply 1500 by 0.175

1500 x 0.175 = 262.5.

The commission is $262.50.

Explain how the sign of a in the equation y=a(x-h)^2 + k tells you whether the parabola has a minimum or maximum value.
Svet_ta [14]
In short, for a vertical parabola, namely one whose independent variable is on the x-axis, usually is x², if the leading term coefficient is negative, the parabola opens downward, and its peak or vertex is at a maximum, check the picture below at the left-hand-side.

and when the leading term coefficient is positive, the parabola opens upwards, with a minimum, check the picture below at the right-hand-side.

Suppose that $a$ is a positive integer for which the least common multiple of $a+1$ and $a-5$ is $10508$. What is $a^2 - 4a + 1$
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

21022.

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the prime factors of 10508:

2 ) 10508

2 ) 5254

37 ) 2627

       71.

50208 = 2*2*37*71.

Now there is no integer value for a that would fit  (a+ 1)(a - 5) = 10508 .

But we could try multiplying the LCM by 2:-

= 21016  = 2*2*2*37*71.

= 2*2*37 multiplied by 2 * 71

= 148 * 142.

That looks promising!!

a - 5 = 142 and

a + 1 = 148

This gives  2a - 4 = 290

2a = 294

a = 147.

So substituting a = 147 into a^2 - 4a + 1 we get:

= 21022.

The drawing shows a stack of paper cups. The cups are 20 cm high. Each cup after the first adds 0.8 cm to the height of the stac
Harrizon [31]

<u>Answer:</u>

The total number of whole cups that we can fit in the dispenser is 25

<u>Solution:</u>

It is given that the height of each cup is 20 cm.

But when we stack them one on top of the other, they only add a height of 0.8 to the stack.  

The stack of cups has to be put in a dispenser of height 30 cm.

So we need o find out how many cups can fit in the dispenser.

Since the first cup is 20 cm high, the height cannot be reduced. So the space to fit in the remaining cups in the stack is only 30-20 cm as that’s the remaining space in the dispenser

So,

30 - 20 = 10 cm

To stack the other cups we have 10 cm of height remaining

As we know that addition of each adds 0.8 cm to the stack, the total number of cups that can be fit in the dispenser can be calculated by the following equation. Let the number of cups other than the first cup be denoted by ‘x’.

10 + 0.8x = 30

0.8x = 20

x = 25

The total number of cups that we can fit in dispenser is 25
