Answer:

Plan 1: 15

Plan 2: 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Ron have to make x numbers of sales of average value $60000, to achieve his target of $ 50000 salary per year in plan 1.

Plan 1 gives a 3% commission on each sale plus $2000 per month.

So, 2000 \times 12 + 60000 \times \frac{3x}{100} = 50000

⇒ 1800x = 26000

⇒ x = 14.44

So, the number of sale must be at least 15. (Answer)

Let Ron have to make x numbers of sale of average value $60000, to achieve his target of $ 50000 salary per year in plan 2.

Plan 2 gives a 6% commission on each sale but no base pay.

Therefore,

\frac{6x}{100} \times 60000 = 50000

⇒ x = 13.89

So, he has to make at least 14 sales. (Answer)

Dwayne drove 18 miles to the airport to pick up his father and then returned home. On the return trip he was able to drive an av
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

30 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let d = distance (in miles)

Let t = time (in hours)

Let v = average speed driving <u>to</u> the airport (in mph)

⇒ v + 15 = average speed driving <u>from</u> the airport (in mph)

Using:  distance = speed x time

\implies t=\dfrac{d}{v}

Create two equations for the journey to and from the airport, given that the distance one way is 18 miles:

\implies t=\dfrac{18}{v}  \ \ \textsf{and} \ \  t=\dfrac{18}{v+15}

We are told that the total driving time is 1 hour, so the sum of these expressions equals 1 hour:

\implies \dfrac{18}{v} +\dfrac{18}{v+15}=1

Now all we have to do is solve the equation for v:

\implies \dfrac{18(v+15)}{v(v+15)} +\dfrac{18v}{v(v+15)}=1

\implies \dfrac{18(v+15)+18v}{v(v+15)}=1

\implies 18(v+15)+18v=v(v+15)

\implies 18v+270+18v=v^2+15v

\implies v^2-21v-270=0

\implies (v-30)(v+9)=0

\implies v=30, v=-9

As v is positive, v = 30 only

So the average speed driving to the airport was 30 mph

(and the average speed driving from the airport was 45 mph)

A baseball player comes up to bat 3 times during a league game. He either gets a hit or gets an out. How many different combinat
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

8 different combinations are possible.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we have 2 different combinations for each time.

And the player comes out to bat 3 times.

So, total number of combinations are:

2^{3} i.e. a total of 8 number of times.

Let a hit is termed as 'H' and an out is termed as 'O'.

Total combinations are:

{HHH, HHO, HOH, HOO, OHH, OHO, OOH, OOO}

Kindly have a look at the tree diagram attached in the answer area.

In starting, there are 2 combinations possible, i.e. 'O' and 'H'.

After 'O' , 2 possible i.e. 'O' and 'H'.

After 'H' , 2 possible i.e. 'O' and 'H'.

and so on....

Find the area of the shape.
kaheart [24]

Answer:

36*sqrt(3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

Use the Pythagorean theory to find the height. Use that height to find the area of the rectangle and the triangle Or

You can find the area of the trapezoid which requires only 1 step after you find the height.

Height

c = 8

b = 4

a = ?

a^2 + b^2  =  c^2

a^2 + 4^2 = 8^2

a^2 + 16 = 64

a^2 = 64 - 16

a^2 =  48

a^2 =  16 * 3

sqrt(a^2) = sqrt(16*3)

a = 4 * sqrt(3)

That's the height

Trapezoid

b1 = 7

b2 = 7 + 4 = 11

h = 4*sqrt(3)

Area = (b1 + b2)*h / 2

Area = (7 + 11)* 4*sqrt(3)/2

Area = 18 * 2 sqrt(3)

Area = 36* sqrt(3)
