First you need to understand the structure of the commission. 
The first part is 6% commission on sales up to $500. 
The second part is 8% commission on sales over $500. 

Note that the second part doesn't mean that a sale of $800 gets 8% of $800. 

It means that once we have reached $500, any *further* sales get 8%. 
Since $800 is $300 more than $500, the commission is 

6% of $500 + 
8% of $300 

The first thing she did was work out the excess above $500. 
Then she worked out the two percentages in two separate parts. 

The second part seems to have incurred a cut and past accident, not sure if that is yours or it was already done.

Explain why all linear angle pairs must be supplementary, but all supplementary angles do not have to be linear pairs?
dimulka [17.4K]
Two angles are supplementary if their measures sum 180°.

Linear angle pairs are adjacent angles (they are together) and they form a straight angle, which is 180°. Therefore, they are supplementary.

But two angles may be separated and yet add 180°, then they are supplementary but are not linear angle pairs.

Estimate the quotient of 21.49 ÷ 3.76 using compatible numbers.
kvv77 [185]

The quotient of 21.49 ÷ 3.76 using compatible numbers is approximately 5.69

<h3>What are quotients?</h3>

Quotients are result derived from the ratio of two rational or integers. Given the expression

21.49 ÷ 3.76

Convert to fraction

21.49 ÷ 3.76 = 2140/100  ÷  376/100
21.49 ÷ 3.76 = 2140/376

21.49 ÷ 3.76 =  5.69

Hence the quotient of 21.49 ÷ 3.76 using compatible numbers is approximately 5.69
