Whenever you need to find the percentage OF a number (often money), you just convert that percentage to a decimal (just move the decimal to the left twice so 40% becomes 0.40, 10.5% becomes 0.105, 2% becomes 0.02, etc) and MULTIPLY that decimal by the amount/number you need to find the percentage of.

For example, find the 20% commission of a $10,000 car sale
Calculation:
0.20x$10000 = $2000
Answer:
the commission would be $2000

That’s how you do it. I hope that helps. You should be able to solve it on your own now.

100% = 1.0
2.5% = 0.025

So now we know the decimal that corresponds to 2.5%, so all we have to do is multiply the price of the boat by this value in order to find the commission earned:

18 500 x 0.025 = $462.50

Answer:

a) x = -10

b) x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

2(x + 3) = x - 4

2x + 6 = x - 4

2x - x = -4 - 6

x = -10

b)

4(5x - 2) = 2(9x + 3)

20x - 8 = 18x + 6

20x - 18x = 6 + 8

2x = 14

x = 7

Part A: Abe rented a bike at $36 for 5 days. If he rents the same bike for 8 days, he has to pay a total rent of $48.
lawyer [7]
(5,36)(8,48)
slope = (48 - 36) / (8 - 5) = 12/3 = 4

y = mx + b
slope(m) = 4
(5,36)...x = 5 and y = 36
now sub and find b
36 = 4(5) + b
36 = 20 + b
36 - 20 = b
16 = b

equation is : y = 4x + 16.....in standard form : 4x - y = -16 <==
=======================
function notation : f(x) = 4x + 16
=======================
x axis will be ur hrs....I would label them at intervals of 1
y axis will be total cost of renting the bike......as far as the intervals...not sure how to label them.....sorry....I wanna say intervals of 2...but am not sure

y = 4x + 16
slope = 4
y int = (0,16)
x int = (-4,0)

so start at (-4,0)....and since ur slope is 4, go up 4 and to the right 1...keep doing this and u will cross the y axis at (0,16)

At a clothing store , t shirts cost $10 sweatpants cost $15 . If Autum spends $220 after buying 16 items , how many did she buy
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

2 shirts and 14 pants

why it is awnser

it is that because if u do 15×16 u get 240 and if u subtract 10 twice from that u get 220 so

subtract 16 from 2 and that gives u how many pants she bought and the 2 represents the shirts

What equation translates y=(x) by 8 units to the right ?
Sladkaya [172]
We are given with an original equation of y = x where the slope is 1 and passes through (0,0). if the equation is translated by 8 units to the right, the line still has the same slope but now passes through (8,0). 
y-y1 = m (x-x1)y - 0 = 1 (x-8)y = x - 8
The line now becomes y = x - 8
