His total sales were "x"

now, we know that 3.5% of "x" plus 5% of "x", will add up to his total commission, including sales of 6500 or less or more

so the commission for 6500 or less, is 3.5% of "x" or (3.5/100)*x -> 0.035x
the commission for above 6500 is 5% or (5/100) * x --> 0.05x

we know, that both commissions added together, are $415

thus

0.035x + 0.05x = 415  <-----   solve for "x"

Find the unknown side length x. ​
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

x = \sqrt{65}

Step-by-step explanation:

The altitude of the triangle must equal 4 because it is a right triangle with another leg of 3 and a hypotenuse of 5 (reason is due to the pythagorean theorem)

Therefore, the triangle on the right has legs of 4 and 7 and, again, use the phythagorean theorem to find 'x' (the hypotenuse)

4^{2} + 7^{2} = x^{2}

16 + 49 = x^{2}

65 = x^{2}

x = sq rt 65

Using Unit Rates to compare Ratios continued
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

Brandon

Step-by-step explanation:

GIVEN: Branden and Pete each play running back. Branden carries the ball 75 times for  550 yards, and Pete has 42 carries for 380 yards.

TO FIND: Who runs farther per carry.

SOLUTION:

Total yards traveled by Brandon =550\text{yards}

No. of times ball carried by Brandon =75\text{ times}

Average yards per carry for Brandon =\frac{\text{total yards traveled}}{\text{number of times ball carried}}

                                                              =\frac{550}{75}

                                                              =\frac{22}{3}\text{ yards per carry}

                                                              =7.33\text{ yards per carry}

Total yards traveled by Pete =380\text{ yards}

No. of times ball carried by Pete =42\text{ times}

Average yards per carry for Pete =\frac{\text{total yards traveled}}{\text{number of times ball carried}}

                                                       =\frac{380}{42}

                                                       ≅ 9\text{ yards per carry}

As the number of yards per carry is higher for Brandon , therefore he runs farther per carry.

Find the length of the tangent segment AB to the circles centered at O and O' whose radii are a and b respectively when the circ
bixtya [17]

Answer:

AB=2\sqrt{ab}

Step-by-step explanation:

From figure,

OA=a,  \quad \quad O'B=b\\\Rightarrow OO'= (a+b) \quad \quad \text{and}\quad OD=(a-b)

In triangle OO'D

  (OO')^2=(OD)^2+(O' D)^2

\Rightarrow (a+b)^2=(a-b)^2+(O' D)^2\\\Rightarrow a^2+b^2+2ab-a^2-b^2+2ab=(O' D)^2\\\Rightarrow 4ab=(O' D)^2\\\Rightarrow O'D=2\sqrt{ab} \\\Rightarrow O' D=2\sqrt{ab}=AB \quad \quad [\because O' DAB\;\; \text{is a rectangle.}]

Hence, AB=2\sqrt{ab}
