1 answer:
Answer:
$474
Step-by-step explanation:
Ellen's pay is:
Fixed Weekly Salary (that is $330) + 12% commission on Sales
We already know her fixed salary part. Let's figure out her last week's commission and add it to her fixed salary to find her total pay.
12% is 12/100 = 0.12
To find 12% of 1200, we multiply 1200 with 0.12. We get:
So her commissions for last week is $144.
Total Pay Last Week = 330 + 144 = $474

You problem is you don't have any problem. You have a bunch of formulas for the perimeter and area of some shapes.
As for using the formulas, usually you're given all but one of the variables and you can solve for the remaining one.
Notice how the triangle result doesn't have area as a function of a, b and c. That's called Heron's formula and is usually not taught to secondary school students. I don't like to teach it either because Archimedes' Theorem is so much better:
The sides a,b,c and area S of a triangle satisfy
