Answer:
A. $27.23
B. $467.77
Step-by-step explanation:
Lin is shopping for a couch with her dad and heard him ask the salesperson “how much is your commission?” The salesperson says that her commission is 5 1/2% of the selling price. A.How much commission will the salesperson earn by selling a couch for $495?
B.How much money will the store get from the sale of the couch?
Salesperson commission = 5 1/2%
Price of couch = $495
A. Amount earned by the salesperson = 5 1/2% of $495
= 5.5% × 495
= 0.055 × 495
= 27.225
Approximately
Amount earned by the salesperson = $27.23
B.How much money will the store get from the sale of the couch?
Amount the store get = Total price - amount earned by salesperson
= $495 - $27.23
= $467.77
Here we're applying a basic physics rule for vertical motion where the only pull on the object is gravity.
This rule has the form
h(t) = h + v t + (1/2)a*t^2
o o
To adapt this rule to this particular question replace h with 0, as the
o
upward path of the object begins at 0 ft. Replace v with +15 ft/sec.
o
Replace "a" with (-32.2 ft/(sec^2); this is the acceleration due to gravity.
Then we have the following, with the label F(t):
F(t) = 0 + (15 ft/sec)t + (1/2)(-32.2 ft)/(sec^2), or
F(t) = 15t - 16.1t^2. Thus, Choice D is correct.
Please note: To avoid confusion, please use " ^ " to denote exponentiation:
F(t) = -16t^2 + 15t
I did click on the picture but I can't see the problems it is zoomed in.
The right triangle has legs of x and 2.5 where x is the height up the wall that the ladder will reach. The length of the ladder is the hypotenuse of the right triangle.
According to the Pythagorean Theorem, x^2 + 2.5^2 = 12^2
x = 11.736 approx To the nearest tenth that is 11.7.
