Answer:

His salary is $2666.68

Step-by-step explanation:

First add the percent of the costs. 10% + 15% = 25%

Then subtract 25% from 100% to find the percentage that 2,000 is of the total salary. 100% - 25% = 75%

$2,000 is 75% of the total salary. Divide 2,000 by three to find the amount of money 25% of the salary is. ( 75% is 3/4 of 100) 2,000 divided by 3 = $666.67

25% of the salary is $666.67

Multiple that by 4 and you get the total salary.

666.67•4= $2666.68

Are you sure those were all the correct numbers because that was not a very nice number at the end there lol but that answer is correct with the numbers you gave me.

The formula used to find the length of a line segment is the same formula as the Pythagoras theorem.

We take CD as the hypotenuse of the right-angled triangle and the distance between the x-coordinates and y-coordinates as the length of two short sides.

We can write the formula as
CD = $\sqrt{( x_{1}- x_{0}) ^{2}+ ( y_{1}- y_{0}) ^{2} }$
CD = $\sqrt{(a-0)^{2}+ (b-b)^{2} }$
