Answer:

For a sale value greater than $7200 the plan a is profitable.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume for a sale of $x, Chris will choose plan a.

Now, in plan a, a commission of 8% of sales and $370 per month, is the salary.

So, for a sale of $x the salary is $(370 + 0.08x) per month.

And, in plan b, a commission of 3% of sales and $730 per month, is the salary.

So, for a sale of $x the salary is $(730 + 0.03x) per month.

Now, for selecting plan a, the condition is  

(370 + 0.08x) > (730 + 0.03x)

⇒ 0.05x > 360

⇒ x > 7200

Therefore, for a sale value greater than $7200 the plan a is profitable. (Answer)

Please solve the following quadratic equation and show your work: x^2 -x =30
saveliy_v [14]
Rewriting the equation as a quadratic equation equal to zero:
     x^2 - x - 30 = 0
We need two numbers whose sum is -1 and whose product is -30. In this case, it would have to be 5 and -6. Therefore we can also write our equation in the factored form
     (x + 5)(x - 6) = 0
Now we have a product of two expressions that is equal to zero, which means any x value that makes either (x + 5) or (x - 6) zero will make their product zero.
     x + 5 = 0  => x = -5
     x - 6 = 0  => x = 6
Therefore, our solutions are x = -5 and x = 6.
