Answer:

The shoe salesman will earn a commission of=$74

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Value of sales

Express the total value of sale the shoe salesman makes as follows;

Total value of sales=number of shoes sold×price per shoe

where;

Number of shoes sold and price per shoe=2 pairs each at $80

number of shoes sold a and price per shoe=3 pairs each at $70

replacing;

Total value of shoes sold=(2×80)+(3×70)=$370

Total value of shoes sold=$370

Step 2: Calculate how much the shoe salesman earns

The expression for how much the shoes salesman will earn is as follows;

A=r×c

where;

A=total amount of the shoe salesman income

r=commission rate

c=total value of sales

In our case;

A=unknown

r=20%=20/100=0.2

c=$370

Step 3: Substitute values in the expression

A=20% of $370

A=0.2×370

A=74

The shoe salesman will earn a commission of=$74

Determine the value of B such that the line defined by 8x + By + 92 = 0 passes through the point (-4,12).
zvonat [6]
8x + By + 92 = 0

(-4; 12) ⇒ x = -4; y = 12

subtitute

8 · (-4) + 12B + 92 = 0
-32 + 12B + 92 = 0
12B + 60 = 0    |subtract 60 from both sides
12B = -60    |divide both sides by 12

B = -5

7. Is it proportional?
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

A unit rate is the rate of change in a relationship where the rate is per 1.

The rate of change is the ratio between the x and y (or input and output) values in a relationship.  Another term for the rate of change for proportional relationships is the constant of proportionality.

If the rate of change is yx, then so is the constant of proportionality.  To simplify things, we set  yx=k, where k represents the constant of proportionality.  

If you solve a yx=k equation for y, (like this: y=kx), it is called a direct variation equation. In a direct variation equation, y varies directly with x. When x increases or decreases, y also increases or decreases by the same proportion.

To find y in a direct variation equation, multiply x by the constant of proportionality, k.

For example: Given the relationship y=7x, the constant of proportionality k=7,  so if x=3,  then y=3×7 or 21.

Given the same relationship, if x=7,  then y=7×7, or 49.
