Answer:

Part A) 0.12x+2,700\geq 5,400

Part B) see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A) Write an inequality that will represent the amount of sales Ollie will need in order to cover his monthly expenses

Let

x ----> the amount of sales monthly

Remember that

12\%=12/100=0.12

we know that

The fixed amount of $2,700 plus the commission of 12% on all of his sales for the month must be greater than or equal to $5,400

so

The inequality that represent this problem is

0.12x+2,700\geq 5,400

Part B) Find the solution and describe what the graph would look like on a number line

we have

0.12x+2,700\geq 5,400

Solve for x

subtract 2,700 both sides

0.12x \geq 5,400-2,700\\0.12x \geq 2,700

Divide by 0.12 both sides

x\geq \$22,500

The minimum amount of sales needed to cover his monthly expenses is $22,500

In a number line the solution is the shaded area at right of x=22,500 (closed circle)

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

Three Nissans, two Fords, and four Chevrolets can be rented for $106 per day. At the same rates two Nissans, four Fords, and thr
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

The rental rate for the Fords is of $12 per day.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is solved using a system of equations.

I am going to say that:

x is the cost of a Nissan.

y is the cost of a Ford.

z is the cost of a Chevrolet.

Three Nissans, two Fords, and four Chevrolets can be rented for $106 per day.

This means that:

3x + 2y + 4z = 106

Two Nissans, four Fords, and three Chevrolets cost $107 per day

This means that:

2x + 4y + 3z = 107

Four Nissans, three Fords, and two Chevrolets cost $102 per day.

This means that:

4x + 3y + 2z = 102

From the first equation:

4z = 106 - 3x - 2y

2z = 53 - 1.5x - y

z = 26.5 - 0.75x - 0.5y

Replacing into the third equation:

4x + 3y + 53 - 1.5x - y = 102

2.5x + 2y = 49

From the second equation:

2x + 4y + 3z = 107

2x = 107 - 4y - 3z

x = 53.5 - 2y - 1.5z

x = 53.5 - 2y - 1.5(26.5 - 0.75x - 0.5y)

x - 1.125x = 53.5 - 2y - 39.75 + 0.75y

-0.125x = 13.75 - 1.25y

0.125x = 1.25y - 13.75

x = \frac{1.25y - 13.75}{0.125}

x = 10y - 110

Find the rental rate for the Fords.

We have to find y, so:

2.5x + 2y = 49

2.5(10y - 110) + 2y = 49

25y - 275 + 2y = 49

27y = 324

y = \frac{324}{27}

y = 12

The rental rate for the Fords is of $12 per day.

ANEK [815]

The formule is about area of a circle.

\pi x^{2} = a

We need to solve the equation for x. Where x is the radius of the circle.

In order to solve it for x, we need isolate it for x on left side.

So, first we need to get rid pi from left side.

On dividing both sides by pi, we get

\frac{\pi x^2}\pi}=\frac{a}{\pi}

x^2=\frac{a}{\pi}

Taking square root on both sides, we get

\sqrt{x^2}=\sqrt{\frac{a}{\pi}}

x=\sqrt{\frac{a}{\pi}}
