Answer:

P(x)=0.025x+100

Step-by-step explanation:

The 0.025 is 2.5% as a decimal. Then, the +100 is for the base pay amount Hailey receives.

Answer:

Hailey's total pay on a day which she sells x dollars worth of computer is P(x) = 100 + \frac{x}{40}

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Given,</em>

Let x represents the total amount of sales per day

Let bp represents her base pay

bp = $100

Let sc represents her sales commission

sc = 2.5% of total amount of sales

sc = 2.5% of x

Let P(x) represent her total pay on a day she sells x dollars worth of computer

To calculate P(x), we make use of the summation of her base pay by her total sales commission.

This is given as

P(x) = base pay + sales commission

or

P(x) = bp + sc

By Substitution of the right values

P(x) = $100 + 2.5% of $x

P(x) = 100 + \frac{2.5}{100} of $x

P(x) = 100 + \frac{2.5x}{100}

P(x) = 100 + \frac{25x}{1000}

P(x) = 100 + \frac{x}{40}

Hence, Hailey's total pay on a day which she sells x dollars worth of computer is P(x) = 100 + \frac{x}{40}

There are two spinners containing only white and green slices. Spinner A has 4 white slices and 1 green slice. All the slices ar
MrRa [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, lets list the important things

  • only green and white slices
  • all slices same size
  • spinner A has 4/5 white slices and 1/5 green slices
  • spinner B has 3/12 white slices and 9/12 green slices

The 4 options are:

  • spinner B lands on a green slice
  • spinner A lands on a white or green slice
  • spinner A lands on a white slice
  • spinner B lands on a yellow slice

We already know that choice 2 is 100% probable and option 4 is 0% probability, because in option 2, the spinner A ONLY has white or green slices so the spinner must land on the slice. In option 4, no matter which spinner is spun no yellow slices are available to land on.

the chance of option 1 happening is 9/12 which is 3/4 which is 75%

the chance of option 3 of happening 4/5 which is 80%

option 1 has a 75% chance

option 2 has a 100% chance

option 3 has an 80% chance

option 4 has a 0% chance

this means that the order is:

1. option 4

2. option 3

3. option 1

4. option 2

because it is least likely to most likely.

hope this helped you out and if you need any questions feel free to ask

good luck in maths!

EastWind [94]

Answer:

1) 4 bottles

2) $0.75

3) $5.25

Step-by-step explanation:

1)9/3 = 3 so you must divide 12 by 3

12/3=<u>4 bottles</u>

2)12/1=12

divide 9 by 12

9/12 =<u>$0.75</u>

3)12/7 =\frac{12}{7} (The actually number is too long to write so just leave it in fraction form)

9÷12/7=<u>$5.25</u>

Two numbers multiply to be -50 and add to 0
sineoko [7]

Clever !

The two square roots of  50  will do that.
They are irrational numbers, so I can't write down their exact values.
They are approximately  +7.0711  and  -7.0711  (rounded) .

Write a mixed number that is equivalent to 16/3.
mars1129 [50]
A mixed number is an integer--whole number--in front of a fraction. To calculate this, you have to divide the numerator by the denominator and put the remainder over the denominator. 

Since 3 goes into 16 wholly 5 <em />times with 1 left over, 16/3 = 5 1/3.

Hope this helps!

What is the value of n in the equation 1/2(n – 4) – 3 = 3 – (2n + 3)?
Travka [436]
Distribute 1/2 to <span>(n – 4):

</span>\frac{1}{2} \times n = \frac{1}{2}n
\frac{1}{2} \times -4 = -2
<span>
Subtract (2n + 3):

</span>- (2n + 3) = -2n -3
<span>
Your equation should now look like this:

</span>\frac{1}{2}n - 2 - 3 = 3 - 2n - 3
<span>
Combine like terms on both sides:

</span>-2 - 3 = -5
3 - 3 = 0
\frac{1}{2}n - 5 = -2n
<span>
Subtract 1/2n from both sides:

</span>-5 = -\frac{5}{2}n
<span>
Divide both sides by -5/2 to get n by itself:

</span>n = 2
<span>
The value of n is 2.</span>
