Answer:
53.5
Step-by-step explanation:
We'll use PEMDAS which stands for
P = parenthesis
E = exponents
M = multiplication
D = division
A = addition
S = subtraction
It tells us the order in how to evaluate math expressions. We start with parenthesis, then move to exponents, etc until we get to subtraction as the last step.
We have parenthesis so we focus on whats inside it. We evaluate 2^0 to get 1. Any nonzero number to the exponent 0 is always 1. In other words, x^0 = 1 where x is nonzero.
So 3(2^0) turns into 3(1) or 3*1
Then we multiply that to get 3*1 = 3
So overall, 3(2^0) = 3
Whatever% of anything is just (whatever/100) * anything.
now, we know Trever makes $500 in salary and 2% on sales, let's say he sells "x" amount, how much is 2% of x? well (2/100) * x, or 0.02x.
Therefore Trever's earnings are 500 + 0.02x, his salary plus his commission.
to earn a total of 2,000, then 500 + 0.02x = 2000, thus
Looks like this
