Answer:

$24166.67

Step-by-step explanation:

$25 per hour and works 35 hours per week

Norma Jean makes 35 * 25  (<em>without sales) = </em>$875

<em> </em>Total commission made by Norma<em> </em>= 4500-875 = $3625

<em>let total number of sales by Norma be x</em>

15% is the same as 15/100

<em>so </em>(15/100) * x =3625 <em> multiplying both sides by 100</em>

15x = 362500<em> making x subject of formula</em>

x = 362500/15

x = 24 166.67

Norma should sell total items worth $24166.67

Answer: her total sales would be $24167

Step-by-step explanation:

The basic pay that Norma Jean makes is $25 per hour.

Let x represent the total amount of sales that she makes in a week.

She works 35 hours per week. She gets a commission of 15% on her total sales. This means that the amount that she gets as commission if she makes sales worth $x in a week would be

15/100 × x = 0.15 × x = 0.15x

Therefore, if she makes total sales of $x in a week, her total pay would be

35 × 25 + 0.15x

= 875 + 0.15x

Therefore, to to make $4,500 in a single week, her total sales would be

4500 = 875 + 0.15x

0.15x = 4500 - 875 = 3625

x = 3625/0.15

x = $24167

In 2007, there were more than 8.14 million cars for sale. Over the next 3 years, the number of cars decreased by 23%. Write an e
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

c = 8.14 million×(0.9166)^t

4.83 million  

Step-by-step explanation:

Data:

  t = y - 2007

c₀ = 8.14 million

c₃  = 23 % less than c₁

Part 1. Calculate c₃

c₃ = c₀(1 - 0.23) = 0.77c₀

Part 2. Calculate r

      c₃ = c₀r^t

0.77c₀ = c₀r³

   0.77 = r³              Divided each side by c₀

         r = 0.9166     Took the cube root of each side

The explicit decay model is c = 8.14 million×(0.9166)^t

Part 3. Prediction

t = 2013 - 2007 = 6

c = c₀r^t = 8.14 million×(0.9166)⁶ = 8.14 million × 0.5929 = 4.83 million

The model predicts that there will be 4.83 million cars for sale in 2013.

Solve the slope for the table.
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

The slope is 0

Step-by-step explanation:

All y-values are equal to 5 meaning the graph is a straight horizontal line. Slope is the rate at which a graph increases or decreases. Seeing as this graph doesn't do so, the slope is 0.
