Answer:
y = 38800 + 0.14x
Step-by-step explanation:
Rodrigo is a salesman who earned a base pay of $38800 and a commission of 14% for each book set he sold.
If Rodrigo sells one set of books he earns the commission of 0.14
So on the sales of x sets of books Rodrigo will earn commission of 0.14x
Therefore, Rodrigo's total pay will be y = Basic pay + commission
y = 38800 + 0.14x is the equation representing total pay of Rodrigo's.
Remember you can do anything to an equation as long as you do it to both sides
-3x+1+10x=x+4
add like terms
7x+1=x+4
minus x both sides
6x+1=4
minus 1 both sides
6x=3
divide both sides by 6
x=1/2
x=0.5
2 times 4.95 equals 9.9
16.56 times 6 equals 99.36
add it up and it’s 109.26
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let Sue's age = x
Leah's age = x + 6
John's age= Leah's age + 5 = (x+6) + 5 = x + 11
Sum of their ages = 41
x + (x+6) + ( x+11 ) = 41
x + x+6 +x +11 = 41
3x + 17 =41
3x = 41 -17
3x = 24
x = 24/3
x =8
Sue's age = 8 years
