A salesperson is paid a flat rate plus a fixed percentage of her sales. Last month, she sold $16,000 worth of goods and was paid

$1,600. Two months ago, she had $12,000 in sales and was paid $1,400. This month she sold $11,000 worth of goods. How much will she be paid?​

Answer:

<em>She will be paid $1,350</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Linear Modeling</u>

Some events can be modeled as linear functions. If we are in a situation where a linear model is suitable, then we need two sample points to make the model and predict unknown behaviors.

The linear function can be expressed in the slope-intercept format:

y=mx+b, where m and b are constants.

The payments for a salesperson will be linearly modeled. There are two known points: When the sales were $16,000, the payment was $1,600. This makes the point (16,000;1,600).

We also know when the sales were $12,000, the payment was $1,400. The point is (12,000;1,400)

Let's use the points to find the values of m and b.

Using (16,000;1,600):

1,600=m*16,000+b

Using (12,000;1,400):

1,400=m*12,000+b

Subtracting both equations:

200=16,000m-12,000m

200=4,000m

Solving:

m=200/4,000=0.05

Using the first equation and the value of m:

1,600=0.05*16,000+b

1,600=800+b

Solving:

b=800

The equation is now complete:

y=0.05x+800

She sold $11,000 this month, so the payment is:

y=0.05\cdot 11,000+800

Y=550+800=1,350

She will be paid $1,350

Figure 1 was translated using the rule (x', y') ⇒ (x -9, y + 2) to produce figure 2.

<h3>What is transformation?</h3>

Transformation is the movement of a point from its initial location to a new location. Types of transformation are t<em>ranslation, reflection, rotation and dilation.</em>

Translation is the movement of a point either up, down, left or right on the coordinate plane.

Figure 1 was translated 9 units left and 2 units up using the rule (x', y') ⇒ (x -9, y + 2) to produce figure 2.

Sophie [7]

Answer:

The next time they would play despacito on both stations is after 35 minutes.

Hence, 3:00pm + 35

= 3:35 pm

Step-by-step explanation:

The radio hot 97 plays despacito ft Justin beiber every 5 minutes. Another station Z 100 plays despacito every 7 minutes. Both stations at start 3:00 pm and what time will it be when despacito at the same time ?

Find and list multiples of time that despacito plays Radio hot 97 and Station Z 100.

Hence, we find the Multiples of 5 minutes and 7 minutes until the first common multiple is found. This is the lowest common multiple.

Multiples of 5:

5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45

Multiples of 7:

7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49

Therefore, the first common multiple is found which is the lowest common multiple is 35

LCM(5, 7) = 35

The next time they would play despacito on both stations is after 35 minutes.

Hence, 3:00pm + 35

= 3:35 pm

Dan sold 40 concert tickets in 5 days.
olchik [2.2K]

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of tickets sold by Dan the first day is x.

Tickets sold on the 2nd day: x+3

on the 3rd day: x+6

on the 4th day: x+9

on the 5th: x+12

Since the total of tickets sold by Dan is 40:

x+(x+3)+(x+6)+(x+9)+(x+12)=40

5x+30=40

5x=10

x=2

number of tickets sold on the third day: 8
