At least 680 in sales because 200$-64$ is 136. 136*5=680 because 136 is one fifth or 20% of 680

each year francesca earns a salary of 2% higher than her previous years salary. In her first 5 years at this job, she earned a t

Luda [366]

Answer:

$36,027.9

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets say her salary in the first year is s1. So, in the second year her salary will be 2% higher than x, this is, s1 + s1*0.02, so:

s2 = s1 + 0.02s1 = 1.02s1

Then in year 3 it will be s2 plus a 0.02 increase:

s3 = s2 + 0.02s2 = 1.02(s2) = 1.02 (1.02 s1) = 1.02^2(s1)

Then the same for s4: s3 salary plus the increase.

s4 = s3 + 0.02s3 = 1.02(s3) = 1.02 (1.02 s2) = 1.02(1.02*1.02 s1) =1.02^3(s1)

Finally for the 5th monts:

s5 = 1.02(s4) = 1.02^4(s1)

We know that s1+s2+s3+s4+s5 = 187,345

Lets replace all the salaries by its value depending on s1

s1 + 1.02s1 + 1.02^2(s1) + 1.02^3(s1) + 1.02^4(s1) = 187,345

We can add to the first term a s1^0 as it is eqaul to 1

s1 + 1.02s1 + 1.02^2(s1) + 1.02^3(s1) + 1.02^4(s1) = 187,345

Lets get 1s1 out as common factor:

s1 (1 + 1.02^1 + 1.02^2 + 1.02^3 + 1.02^4) = 187,345

s1 *5.20 = 187,345

Divide both sides by 5.20

s1 = 36,027.9

So, her salary in the 1st month was approximately $36,027.9

Zanzabum

Answer:

0.0475

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the z-score.

z = (x − μ) / σ

z = (125 − 100) / 15

z = 1.67

Use a calculator or chart to find the probability. Using a chart:

P(Z > 1.67) = 1 − P(Z < 1.67)

P(Z > 1.67) = 1 − 0.9525

P(Z > 1.67) = 0.0475

Alondra received a 14% hourly raise, but the number of hours worked decreased by 7.5%. If her wage was $10.50 an hour and she wo

Elodia [21]

Answer:

She will earn <u>$442.89</u> in one week after the changes.

And this is <u>more</u> than her previous weekly earnings.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Alondra received a 14% hourly raise, but the number of hours worked decreased by 7.5%. If her wage was $10.50 an hour and she worked 40 hours per week before the changes.

Now, to find money she will earn in one week after the changes.

Her wage was = $10.50.

She worked per week = 40 hours.

So, her salary before changes:

$10.50\times 40\\\\=\$420.$

Thus, the salary per week before changes is $420.

Now, to get her salary after 14% hourly raise:

$10.50+14\%\ of\ 10.50\\\\=10.50+\frac{14}{100} \times 10.50\\\\=10.50+1.47\\\\=11.97$

<u>Salary after hourly raise = $11.97 per hour.</u>

Then, to get the number of hours worked decreased by 7.5%:

$40-7.5\%\ of\ 40\\\\=40-\frac{7.5}{100} \times 40\\\\=40-3\\\\=37.$

<u>Number of hours per week after hours of worked decreased = 37 hours.</u>

Now, to get the salary after changes:

<em>Salary after hourly raise × number of hours per week after hours of worked decreased</em>

$=11.97\times 37$

$=\$442.89.$

<u>Salary after changes in one week = $442.89.</u>

<u><em>As, the previous salary was $420 in one week. </em></u>

<u><em>And after changes this salary is $442.89 in one week which is more than previous. </em></u>

Therefore, she will earn $442.89 in one week after the changes.

And this is more than her previous weekly earnings.
