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.

Answer:

19. 11

21. 119

Step-by-step explanation:

19.

(-5)² - [4(-3 ∙ 2 + 4)² + 3] + 5 =

= (-5)² - [4(-6 + 4)² + 3] + 5

= (-5)² - [4(-2)² + 3] + 5

= (-5)² - [4(4) + 3] + 5

= (-5)² - [16 + 3] + 5

= 25 - 19 + 5

= 6 + 5

= 11

21.

5 - 8[6 - (3 ∙ 2 - 8 + 2|4 ÷ -2 + (-3)| - 4) - 7 · 2] - 3² · (-2) =

= 5 - 8[6 - (3 ∙ 2 - 8 + 2|-2 + (-3)| - 4) - 7 · 2] - 3² · (-2)

= 5 - 8[6 - (3 ∙ 2 - 8 + 2|-5| - 4) - 7 · 2] - 3² · (-2)

= 5 - 8[6 - (3 ∙ 2 - 8 + 2(5) - 4) - 7 · 2] - 3² · (-2)

= 5 - 8[6 - (6 - 8 + 10 - 4) - 7 · 2] - 3² · (-2)

= 5 - 8[6 - (-2 + 10 - 4) - 7 · 2] - 3² · (-2)

= 5 - 8[6 - (8 - 4) - 7 · 2] - 3² · (-2)

= 5 - 8[6 - 4 - 7 · 2] - 3² · (-2)

= 5 - 8[6 - 4 - 14] - 3² · (-2)

= 5 - 8[2 - 14] - 3² · (-2)

= 5 - 8[-12] - 3² · (-2)

= 5 - (-96) - 9 · (-2)

= 5 + 96 + 18

= 101 + 18

= 119
