John made $40 commissions for $500 sales or 40/500. He wants $320 for an unknown amount of sales or 320/x.

40/500=320/x Cross multiply.

40x=160,000

Divide both sides by 40.

X=4,000

He needs his sales to be $4,000 to get $320 in commission.

5 less than a number is equivalent to 1 more than three times the number<br><br> The number is ??
givi [52]

Answer:

-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x equal the mystery number

Our equation will be:

x - 5 = 1 + 3x

Subtract x from both sides

-5 = 1 + 2x

Subtract 1 from both sides

-6  = 2x

Divide both sides by 2

-3 = x

235 people are at RSM summer camp. There are 35 more boys than girls, and 70 fewer adults than girls. How many people of each gr
makkiz [27]

Answer:

The number of girls are 90 girls

The number of boys are 125 boys

The number of adults are 20 adults

There are 90 girls, 125 boys and 20 adults at the camp

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of people is given as 235 people

The number of boys = 35 + The number of girls

The number of adults = The number of girls - 70

Let the total number of girls = G

Therefore, we have;

The number of boys = 35 + G

The number of adults = G - 70

The total number of persons = The number of boys + The number of adults  +  The number of girls

Therefore;

235 = The number of boys + The number of adults  +  The number of girls

Which gives;

235 = 35 + G + G - 70 + G = 3·G - 35

235 = 3·G - 35

3·G - 35 = 235

3·G = 235 + 35  = 270

G = 270/3 = 90

The number of girls = 90

The number of boys = 35 + The number of girls = 35 + 90 = 125

The number of boys =  125

The number of adults = The number of girls - 70 = 90 - 70 = 20

The number of adults = 20.

An angle measures 90° less than the measure of a supplementary angle. What is the measure of each angle?
Vanyuwa [196]
Supplementary angles add up to 180 degrees more than the other, you can formulate an equation 180=(100+x)+x80=2x so, x=40 the other angle is 100 degrees more. So, the angle lengths are 40 and 140 degrees.
