Ace Cars says they will pay Jim a 10% commission on the sale price of each car. Budget Cars says they will pay him $500 per week

plus a 7.5% commission on the sale price of each car. Jim can sell one car every week. What price would the car have to sell for in order for these two job opportunities to pay Jim the same amount?

Answer:

  $20,000

Step-by-step explanation:

You can quickly figure this by recognizing that the difference in commission must be the same as the base salary:

  2.5%(car price) = $500

  car price = $500/0.025 = $20,000

__

If you prefer, you can get there with equations.

At Job 1, the pay is ...

  y = 10%×(car price)

At Job 2, the pay is ...

  y = 7.5%×(car price)

Setting the equal (the two opportunities pay the same), we have ...

  0.10(car price) = 500 +0.075(car price)

  0.025(car price) = 500 . . . . . . . . subtract 0.075(car price)

  car price = 500/0.025 = 20,000 . . . . divide by 0.025

Jim would have to sell a $20,000 car each week for the jobs to pay the same.

2.32x10 to the fifth power
laiz [17]
2.32 x 10⁵ = 232000

This can be solved by multiplying 2.32 to the product of 10 multiplied 5 times.

10⁵ = 10 * 10 * 10 * 10 *10
10⁵ = 100,000

2.32 x 100000 = 232000

The given equation is the standard form of a decimal number. It is used to write down a very large or very small number easily.

There are a lot of standard forms. Like: Standard form of an equation and Standard form of a polynomial.

Luiza is jumping on a trampoline. Ht models her distance above the ground (in m) t seconds after she starts
Damm [24]

Answer:

t=2.08 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Well, in this example, H(t)=-0.6cos(2pi/2.5)t+1.5 should be equal to 1.2. If calculated, -0.6cos(0.8pi)t=1.2-1.5 which is equal to -0.6cos(0.8pi)t=-0.3, then cos(0.8pi)t=0.5. The value of cosine in terms of radians when it is equal to 0.5 is pi/3. So, cos(0.8pi)t=cos(pi/3). If simplified, (0.8pi)*t=5pi/3. pi's are cancelled out and t is calculated as 2.08333... If rounded to the nearest hundredth it is 2.08.
