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

assuming you meant to simplify above,

$\bf (8+7i)+(7-3i)\implies \stackrel{\textit{adding like terms}}{15+4i}$

(15 POINTS!) The graph shows the distance a ghost crab can run over time the D equals the distance in meters and the t equal the

Maru [420]

Answer:

B. d = 5/3t

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is shown in the figure attached with.

We need to find the equation of direct variation using the graph. The general equation for a direction variation is:

y = kx

In this case, the variable along x axis is time in seconds i.e. "t" and the variable along y axis is distance in meters i.e. "d". So, the equation for this case would be:

d = kt

We need to find the value of "k" to complete this equation. For this we can use any point from the graph and substitute it in the above equation. From the graph we can see that the distance covered for time = 3 seconds is 5 meters. Substituting t =3 and d = 5 in above equation, we get:

5 = 3k

k = 5/3

Using the value of k in the above equation, we get:

$d=\frac{5}{3}t$

Therefore, option B gives the correct answer
