If Sal made a 10% commission on the first $5000, his commission would be 2% more than it is. That is, it would be .02·$5000 = $100 more than it is. In other words, Sal's commission is $100 less than it would be if it were 10% of all sales.

... 10% × $15,000 - 100 = $1500 - 100 = $1400

_____

The way you're probably expected to figure the commission is by computing the amount subject to each percentage. That is ...

... Sal gets 8% of $5000 = $400

plus

... Sal gets 10% of $15000 - 5000 = 10% of 10000 = $1000

The total of these two amounts is $400 + 1000 = $1400.

The painting shown at the right has an area of 220. What is the value of x?
tangare [24]

Answer:

9.76

Step-by-step explanation:

area of a rectangle = length * breadth

length = (2x + 3)

breadth = x

given area is 220 sq. inches.

thus,

220 = x * (2x+3)

220 = 2x² +3x

2x² + 3x -220 = 0

x = (-b + √ ( b²-4ac) ) ÷ 2a

x = ( -3 + √ ( 3² - 4*2*220) ) ÷ 2*2

x =9.76
