Answer:

168

Step-by-step explanation:

We would like to multiply these two expressions together and then substitute -2 in for x to solve.

f(x) * g(x) = (8 - 10x) * (5x + 4)

We will use FOIL (first, outer, inner last):

(8 - 10x) * (5x + 4) = 8 * 5x + 8 * 4 + (-10x) * 5x + (-10x) * 4

Combining terms, we get:

f(x) * g(x) = 32 - 50x²

Plug -2 in for x:

32 - 50 * (-2)² = 32 - 50 * 4 = 32 - 200 = -168

The answer is thus 168.

If total employee benefits are calculated as a percentage of their gross pay, which of the following employees receives the larg

vlabodo [156]

Consider all employees.

gross pay $32,600 - 100%,
total job benefits $33,600 - x%.

Then

$\dfrac{32,600}{33,600}=\dfrac{100}{x},\\ \\32,600\cdot x=33,600\cdot 100,\\ \\x=\dfrac{33,600\cdot 100}{32,600}=\dfrac{33,600}{326} \approx 103.07.$

Employee A receives 3.07% of gross pay in employee benefits.

gross pay $32,900 - 100%,
total job benefits $34,000 - x%.

Then

$\dfrac{32,900}{34,000}=\dfrac{100}{x},\\ \\32,900\cdot x=34,000\cdot 100,\\ \\x=\dfrac{34,000\cdot 100}{32,900}=\dfrac{34,000}{329} \approx 103.34.$

Employee B receives 3.34% of gross pay in employee benefits.

gross pay $33,400 - 100%,
total job benefits $33,900 - x%.

Then

$\dfrac{33,400}{33,900}=\dfrac{100}{x},\\ \\33,400\cdot x=33,900\cdot 100,\\ \\x=\dfrac{33,900\cdot 100}{33,400}=\dfrac{33,900}{334} \approx 101.50.$

Employee C receives 1.50% of gross pay in employee benefits.

gross pay $33,700 - 100%,
total job benefits $34,700 - x%.

Then

$\dfrac{33,700}{34,700}=\dfrac{100}{x},\\ \\33,700\cdot x=34,700\cdot 100,\\ \\x=\dfrac{34,700\cdot 100}{33,700}=\dfrac{34,700}{337} \approx 102.97.$

Employee D receives 2.97% of gross pay in employee benefits.

Answer: correct choice is B.
