Answer:

<em>The salesperson needs to sell 10 stereos to make the same money on both plans</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

We'll analyze both choices for the compensation plans of a salesperson.

One plan offers a fixed weekly salary of $250 plus a $25 commission for each stereo sold. The function than models this plan is:

P1=250+25x

Where x is the number of stereos sold.

The other plan offers no fixed salary but a $50 commission on each stereo sold. The function of this plan is:

P2=50x

To find the equilibrium point for both plans, we make P1=P2:

250+25x=50x

Simplifying:

25x=250

Solving:

x = 250 / 25 = 10

The salesperson needs to sell 10 stereos to make the same money on both plans

Randy can buy 6 gallons of gas for $18 or 7 gallons of gas for $21. How much do you think he would pay for 8 gallons of gas?
nadya68 [22]
By dividing the price per gallon, we see that for every gallon he pays three dollars. 
18 Dollars/ 6 Gallons=3 and 21 Dollars/7 Gallons= 3.
So for 8 Gallons, if he pays that same rate of 3 Dollars, he will pay $24.

Which is greater,forty-five hundredths or six tenths? Explain.
MAXImum [283]
I think it would be six tenths because another way to write 6 tenths is 60 hundreths. So, you'd compare 60 hundreths and 45 hundreths, and since 60 is bigger than 40, it would be six tenths....I'm not really good at explaining things, but, I hope this helped.

padilas [110]
PEMDAS
since we don't have exponentes or paretnahsees we do
muliplictaion or division whichever comes first (since division is just multiplication of a fraction)

addition or subtraction whichever comes first (since subtraction is adding a negative)

so
multiply/divide
0 times 3=0
9/3=3

now we have
5-0+3
add/subtract
5-0=5
5+3=8
answer is 8
