Answer:

5 Cars

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of cars to be sold to make the total pay equal be x.

The first company pays a salary of $12,500 plus commission of $1500 for each car sold.

  • Algebraically written as: 12500+1500x

The second company pays a salary of $17,500 plus a commission of $500 per car sold.

  • Algebraically written as: 17500+500x

Equating both sides

12500+1500x=17500+500x

Collect like terms

1500x-500x=17500-12500

1000x=5000

Divide both sides by 1000

x=5

Therefore, when 5 cars are sold, the total pay would be the same.

Don works in home construction. He determined that the function t(A)=144A/9.252 gives the total number of 9 in. tiles needed to
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

6,226 tiles of 9 in are needed to cover an area of 400 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

A -----> an area in square feet

t(A) ---> the total number of 9 in. tiles needed

we have

t(A)=\frac{144A}{9.252}

For A=400 ft^2

substitute in the equation and solve for t

t(400)=\frac{144(400)}{9.252}

t(400)=6,226\ tiles

That means -----> 6,226 tiles of 9 in are needed to cover an area of 400 square feet

In figure AB and CD bisect each other at O. State the 3 pairs of equal parts in ∆AOC and ∆BOD. Is ∆AOC ≅ ∆BOD? Give reasons
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

SEE EXPLANATION

Step-by-step explanation:

In\:\triangle AOC \:\&\:\triangle BOD

AO \cong OB.... (given)

\angle AOC \cong\angle BOD

(vertical \: \angle s)

CO \cong OD.... (given)

\therefore \triangle AOC \:\cong\:\triangle BOD

(SAS \: postulate)

So, the 3 pairs of equal parts in ∆AOC and ∆BOD are:

AC = BD

m\angle OAC = m\angle OBD

m\angle OCA = m\angle ODB
