Matt Walker is paid weekly and earns a 3.5% straight commission on sales of $6,500 or less and 5% on sales in excess of $6,500.

Last week, Matt’s total graduated commission was $415. What were his total sales for the week?

His sales were $7558.82.

Let x be the amount of sales greater than 6500.  He earns 5% commission on these sales, which we represent as 0.05x.

Since he earns 3.5% on sales less than or equal to 6500, we can represent this as 0.035(x-6500).

Together, his commission was 415:
0.05x+0.035(x-6500) = 415

Using the distributive property, we have
0.05x+0.035*x-0.035*6500 = 415
0.05x + 0.035x - 227.5 = 415

Combining like terms gives us
0.085x - 227.5 = 415

Add 227.5 to both sides:
0.085x - 227.5 + 227.5 = 415 + 227.5
0.085x = 642.5

Divide both sides by 0.085:
0.085x/0.085 = 642.5/0.085
x = 7558.82

Which graphs have rotational symmetry? Check all that apply
Triss [41]

Answer:

Option A and C have rotational symmetry.

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph of odd functions have rotational symmetry about its origin.

Here the first graph is a graph of f(x)=f(x)=x^3 which is an odd function bearing an exponent of 3.

A function is "odd"  when we plug in any negative value in f(x) then it gives negative of f(x).

And we also know that when a graph is mirroring about the y-axis then it is an even functions.

For even functions we have reflection symmetry rather than rotational symmetry.

The second graph is a graph of f(x)=-modulus (x) which is an even function as we can see that its graph is mirroring about the y-axis.

The third graph is a graph of an ellipse which is possessing  rotational symmetry.

The order of symmetry of an ellipse is generally 2.

Order of symmetry:

The order of rotational symmetry of an object is how many times that object is rotated and fits on to itself during a full rotation of 360 degrees.

So graph A and C have rotational symmetry.

The function below represents the interest Kristina earns on an investment. Identify the term that represents the amount of mone
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

The amount of money originally invested which is the principal P = 5,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the compound interest formula, the return on investment can be represented on the interest function as;

f(x) = P(1+r)^x

Where

P is the principal which is the initial investment.

r = rate Proportion

x = time (number of years)

Comparing to the given function;

f(x) = 5,000(1 + 0.04)^x

We can see that;

Principal P = 5,000

Rate r = 0.04

time = x

The amount of money originally invested which is the principal P = 5,000
