Great question

This is because when you

move the decimal point to the right as many places as there are zeros in the factor. Move the decimal point one step to the right

A hole is being dug into the ground at a rate of 5.3 feet per minute. Write an integer to describe the depth of the hole after 1

inna [77]

Answer:

79.5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

5.3 per minute can also be written as the ratio 5.3:1. so if we have x:15, we can see that we've multiplied the right side by 15 so we have to do the same to the other side. 15 times 5.3 is 79.5. so thats your answer.

i hope this helps :))

Trever Goetz is a salesperson who is paid a monthly salary of $500 plus a 2% commission on sales. How much must he sell to earn

dedylja [7]

Whatever% of anything is just (whatever/100) * anything.

now, we know Trever makes $500 in salary and 2% on sales, let's say he sells "x" amount, how much is 2% of x? well (2/100) * x, or 0.02x.

Therefore Trever's earnings are 500 + 0.02x, his salary plus his commission.

to earn a total of 2,000, then 500 + 0.02x = 2000, thus

$\bf 500+0.02x=2000\implies 0.02x=1500\implies x=\cfrac{1500}{0.02}\\\\\\ x=75000$
