We simply take the amount he needs no earn ($500) subtract what he gets for each sale ($50) and divide with the percentage he gets (2% = 0.02)

500-50 = 450
450/0.02 = 22500

The salesperson has to sell a car for $22500 in order to earn $500 himself

Answer:

Car must be sell for sales price of at least of $22,500.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :Salesman receives $50 for each car sale plus 2% of the purchase price. That can mathematically be represented as:

\$50+2\%\text{Sales price of the car}=T

Money received by the salesperson =T

Let the sale price of the car be P

\$50+2\%\text{Sales price of the car}\geq \$500

\$50+\frac{2}{100}\times P=\$500

P=\$22,500

P ≥ $22,500

Car must be sell for sales price of at least of $22,500.

Graph the function f(x) = - squared x + 2
MariettaO [177]

One of the ways to graph this is to use plug in a few x-values and get an idea of the shape. Since the x values keep getting squared, there is an exponential increase on either side of the y-axis. You can see this by plugging in a few values:

When

x=0,f(x)=0

x=1,f(x)=1^2=1

x=2,f(x)=2^2=4

x=3,f(x)=3^2=9

x=4,f(x)=4^2=16

The same holds true for negative x-values to the left of the y-axis since a negative value squared is positive. For example,

x=−1,f(x)=(−1)2=1*−1=1

x=2,f(x)=(−2)2=−2*−2=4

The graph of f(x)=x^2 is called a "Parabola." It looks like this:

In a​ triangle, the measure of the first angle is twice the measure of the second angle. the measure of the third angle is 80 de
Furkat [3]
1st angle = 2 * 2nd angle
3rd angle = 2nd angle + 80

1st angle = 2x 

2nd angle  = x
3rd angle = 80 + x


2x + x + 80 + x = 180
4x = 100
x = 25

1st angle = 50
2nd angle = 25
3rd angle = 105
