Set up a system of equations.

remember, if you're going against the wind, it'll be working against the force, but if you're going with the wind, you will be accelerating or going along with the wind quicker.

{ x + y = 470

{ x - y = 410.


Add those equations together and the y's will cancel out

2x = 880

now solve for x

Harman [31]

Answer:

Lixins monthly sales = $18,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the total sales.

Given:

Basic salary = $500

Commission on sales = 4% = 0.04

Monthly income = $1220

We need to find her sales for the month.

Solution:

First we write the equation for given situation:

Total\ sales = Basic\ Salary + 0.04(Total\ sales)

S = 500 + 0.04x

1200=500+0.04x

0.04x=1220-500

0.04x=720

x = \frac{720}{0.04}

x = \$18,000

Therefore, Lixins monthly sales are $18,000.

Karla invests $300 compounded every 6 months at a rate of 10% for 3 years. At the end of three years, Karla will have $402.03 in
adell [148]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We would apply the formula for determining compound interest which is expressed as

A = P(1 + r/n)^nt

Where

A = total amount in the account at the end of t years

r represents the interest rate.

n represents the periodic interval at which it was compounded.

P represents the principal or initial amount deposited

From the information given,

P = $300

r = 10% = 10/100 = 0.1

n = 2 because it was compounded 2 times in a year(6 months).

t = 3 years

Therefore,

A = 300(1 + 0.1/2)^2 × 3

A = 300(1 + 0.05)^6

A = 300(1.05)^6

A = $402.03
