Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
At the lying lemon used car company each salesperson makes $5.75 per hour and receives 6 1/2% commission on sales. Converting
6 1/2% to decimal, it becomes 6.5%
If a Salesperson worked for 8 hours, the amount that he would earn would be
8 × 5.75 = $46
If the salesperson sold a car for $9290, his commission would be
6.5/100 × 9290 = 0.065 × 9290 = $603.85
Total amount that the sales person would earn is
46+ 603.85 = $649.85
Let the difference between consecutive terms be D. If the middle term is 30, then the term before it is 30-D, and the term after it is 30+D. So the sum of these three terms would be (30-D) + 30 + (30+D) = 3*30.
Extending this sum to include all 11 terms centered around 30, we see that any addition of D is canceled by a balanced subtraction, leaving you with 11 copies of 30. So the value of the sum is 11*30 = 330.
A fraction with a denominator of 4 that is less than 7/12 miles is 1/4.Let the fraction be x/4. Since this fraction must be less than 7/12 miles, we can write the inequality, x/4 < 7/12.We now solve the inequality for x to obtain, x<7/12(4).
This simplifies to x<7/3
This implies that x<2 1/3
This is distance so x is positive.
So we can choose x=1 or x=2.
Therefore the possible fractions include 1/4 or 2/4.
In the simplest form, the most appropriate fraction is 1/4
