ben earns a base salary of $400.00 every week with an additional 11% commission on everything he sells. if ben sold $6050.00 wor

RUDIKE [14]

If you would like to know what was his total pay last week, you can calculate this using the following steps:

a base salary ... $400.00
an additional 11% commission on everything Ben sells
11% of $6050.00 = 11% * 6050 = 11/100 * 6050 = $665.5

$400 + $665.5 = $1065.5

Result: His total pay was $1065.5.

Factor –3y – 18 and choose the correct option.

den301095 [7]

<h3>Factor –3y – 18 is: -3(y + 6)</h3>

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that we have to factor -3y - 18

Use the distributive property,

a(b + c) = ab + bc

From given,

-3y - 18

Factor out the greatest common factor of 3 and 18

The factors of 3 are: 1, 3

The factors of 18 are: 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18

Then the greatest common factor is 3

Factot out 3 from given expression

-3y - 18 = 3( - y - 6)

Or else we can rewrite as,

-3y - 18 = -3(y + 6)

Thus the given expression is factored

Answer:

The answer is

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the fraction reduce the fraction with d

That's we have

Next simplify the expression using the rules of indices to simplify the letters in the fraction

<u>For c </u>

Since they are dividing we subtract the exponents

We have

<u>For </u><u>e</u>

Substituting them into the expression we have

Reduce the fraction by 3

We have the final answer as

The base of a triangle is 7 cm greater than the height. the area is 60 cm squared. find the height and base of the triangle.

tino4ka555 [31]

Base=x+7 Height=x Area=60. 60=((x+7)(x))/2----->60=(x^2+7x)/2

120=x^2+7x X^2+7X-120=0. QUDRATIC FORMULA: -7+/- SQRT(49+480)/2

(-7+/-23)/2... 8 and -15. -15 ISNT the answer because you cant have a negative length. X=8 Base=8+7---->15 Height=8

The average number of accidents is 3 per month, what is the probability of 1 accident?

tatuchka [14]

<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is: 33.33%

Since we have the average number of accidents that occurs in 1 month, and it's equal to 3, we can calculate the probability of 1 accident occurs by dividing it into the average number of accidents, using the following formula:

$Probability=\frac{FavorableOutcomes}{Outcomes}*100$

Where,

Favorable outcomes are the occurrence of the event, for this case, it's equal to 1.

Outcomes are the possible occurrence of the event, for this case, it's equal to 3.

So, by substituting we have:

$Probability=\frac{1}{3}*100$

$Probability=0.3333*100=33.33$

So, the probability will be equal to 33.33%

Have a nice day!
