2x - 5
Done
Answer: her call lasted for 44 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Linda purchase a prepaid phone card for $30. This means that the credit on her card is $30.
Long distance calls cost $0.17 each. Linda use her card only to make a long distance call. Assuming she made a total of x minutes of long distance calls, the cost would be $0.17x. The amount remaining on her card will be
30 - 0.17x
if the remaining credit on her card is $22.52, the number of minutes,x that the call lasted will be
22.52 = 30 - 0.17x
0.17x = 30 - 22.52
0.17x = 7.48
x = 7.48/0.17 = 44
-0.183 = -0.183 / 1
Numerator = -0.183 × 10 × 10 × 10 = -183
Denominator = 1 × 10 × 10 × 10 = 1000
Numerator / Denominator = -183 / 1000
Our simplified fraction is:
= -183/1000
Answer:
X > 21000
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the following :
Payment plans :
PLAN A:
salary = $1000 per month
Commision = 10% of sales
PLAN B:
salary = $1300 per month
Commision = 15% of sales in excess of $9,000
Hence, for plan B; 15% is paid after deducting $9000 from total sales
For what amount of monthly sales is plan B better than plan A if we can assume that Mike's sales are always more than $9,000.00?
That is ;
Plan B > plan A
Let total sales = x
Plan A:
$1,000 + 0.1x
Plan B:
$1,300 + 0.15(x - 9000)
1300 + 0.15(x - 9000) > 1000 + 0.1x
1300 + 0.15x - 1350 > 1000 + 0.1x
0.15x - 50 > 1000 + 0.1x
0.15x - 0.1x > 1000 + 50
0.05x > 1050
x > 1050/0.05
x > 21000
