In this case, the best method starts with finding one percent of the selling price. To do this, divide the commission ($11825) by 5.5. This gets you 1%, which is $2150. Next, multiply this number by 100, turning 1% into 100%. Your final answer is $215,000.
The answer is A. I plugged it into a TI-83 calculator. If you need to know how I did that I will be happy to help
B, $5.10x (it doesnt give you the ammount of games he played so x represents it) + $16.97 (the cost he payed to get in)
Answer:
The number sold at $12.50 is 25
The number sold at $9.50 is 62
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi, to answer this question we have to write a system of equations:
x 12.50 + y 9.50=901.50
x+y= 87
Where
x= number of pottery pieces sold
y= number of pottery pieces sold at a decreased price
Multiplying the second equation by 9.50, and subtracting the second equation to the first equation:
12.50 x + 9.50y = 901.50
-
9.50 x+ 9.50 y= 826.5
__________________
3 x = 75
Solving for x
x =75/3
x = 25
Replacing x=25 on any equation:
x+y= 87
25+y =87
y=87-25
y= 62
