Originally without the 10% extra, both have 100%. since the question stated that the first salesperson have 10% more, the percentage of his paycheck will be a total of 110%. on the other hand, the second salesperson will have only 100%. the question then stated that when both oaychecks are added together, it will give a total of $1075.

110% + 100% represents $1075
210% represents $1075

so now you need to find what is 1 %
1% represents $(1075/210)

the first salesperson have 110%, so you
(1075/210) × 110% = $563. 0952381
round off to the nearest cent so it will become $563.10
the first salesperson paycheck is $563.10

the second salesperson paycheck 100%. so you....
(1075/210) × 100% = $511.9047619
=$511.90
therefore the second salesperson paycheck is $511.90.

You have one type of nut that sells for $4.50/lb and another type of nut that sells for $8.00/lb. You would like to have 28 lbs

-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

I will need 26.4 pounds of the expensive nuts and 1.6 pounds of the cheap nuts.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since I have one type of nut that sells for $ 4.50 / lb and another type of nut that sells for $ 8.00 / lb, and I would like to have 28 lbs of a nut mixture that sells for $ 7.80 / lb, to determine how much of each nut will I need to obtain the desired mixture, the following calculation must be performed:

8 x 0.95 + 4.5 x 0.05 = 7.825

8 x 0.94 + 4.5 x 0.06 = 7.79

0.94 x 28 = 26.32

26.4 x 8 + 1.6 x 4.5 = 218.4

218.4 / 28 = 7.8

Thus, I will need 26.4 pounds of the expensive nuts and 1.6 pounds of the cheap nuts.
