Let x = small number
y=large numebr
x+y = 90
y-4x=15
substitute
we get:
x=21
y=90-21 = 69
Take y=3 and plug it into y=-3x+6. This gives you 3=-3x+6. Solve for x, you get x=1. Now plug 1 into y=-3x+6 and you get 3. Answer is (1,3)
The commission is 5% on everything she sells
If she sold $1650.00
First you have to find her commission
100%=1650
5%=x
100•x=1650•5
100•x=8250
—— ———
100 100
x=82.5(this is her commission)
Now you have to add $82.5 to total she earns in the week.
$400.00+ $82.5 = $482.5
The Vanessa’s total pay last week was $482.5
