Let the first number be x.

Third number = x - 6

Second number = 3(x - 6) = 3x - 18

Sum of the numbers = 96

x + 3x - 18 + x - 6 = 96

5x -24 = 96

5x = 120

x = 24

Thus,

The first number is 24. The second number is 54. The third number is 18.

A salesperson earns $350.25 per week plus 12% of her weekly sales. Which of the following describes the sales necessary for the
Lynna [10]
Let X describes the sales

350.25+0.12x=800.5
Now solve for x
0.12x=800.5-350.25
0.12x=450.25
X=450.25÷0.12
X=3,752.08

the sales necessary for the salesperson to earn at least $800.50 in one week is 3,752.08

How long will it take to earn $1800 in interest if $6000 is invested at a 6% annual interest rate? how many years
Simora [160]

Answer:

Total interest will $1800 after 5 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the principle amount is $6000.

Rate of interest rate is 6% per annum.

Total interest is $1800.

Formula for simple interest is

I=\frac{P\times r\times t}{100}

Where, P is principle, r is rate of interest in percent and t is time in years.

Substitute P=6000, r=6 and I=1800 in the above formula.

1800=\frac{6000\times 6\times t}{100}

1800=\frac{36000t}{100}

1800=360t

Divide both sides by 360.

\frac{1800}{360}=t

5=t

Therefore the total interest will $1800 after 5 years.
