Three salesmen work for the same company, selling the same product. And, although they are all paid on a weekly basis, each sale

sman earns his paycheck differently. Salesman A works strictly on commission. He earns $65 per sale, with a maximum weekly commission of $1,300. Salesman B earns a weekly base salary of $300, plus a commission of $40 per sale. There are no limits on the amount of commission he can earn. Salesman C does not earn any commission. His weekly salary is $900. Suppose Salesmen A and B have the same number of sales and earn the same amount in Week 4 of this month. How many sales must they both have had?

Answer:

12 sales

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of sales each man had.

For Salesman A, he earns $65 per sale; this is 65x.

For Salesman B, he earns $40 per sale; this is 40x.  We also add to this his weekly salary of $300; this gives us 40x+300.

Since their pay was equal, set the two expressions equal:

65x = 40x+300

Subtract 40x from each side:

65x-40x = 40x+300-40x

25x = 300

Divide both sides by 25:

25x/25 = 300/25

x = 12

Answer:

The number of customers needed to break even is

\simeq 6775.

Step-by-step explanation:

Rent per month = $ 7200

Rent per year, $ 7200 \times 12

                        = $ 86400 -------------(1)

Insurance per year = $ 4200 ---------(2)

Total  direct cost  for 2 servers (withoout  tax) per year,

= $ 2 \times 15 \times 8 \times 5 \times 50

= $ 60000

Total cost for helper ( without tax) per year,

= $ 4 \times 15 \times 5 \times \50

= $ 15000

Total cost for employees per year (without tax),

= $ (60000 +15000)  = $ 75000

Total cost per year for employees including tax,

$ \frac {(75000 \times (100 + 6.2 + 1.45)}{100}

= $ \frac {(75000 \times 107.65 }{100}

= $ 80737.5 -----------------------(3)

So,

total cost for running the restaurant (except food)

= (1) + (2) + (3) = $ (86400 + 4200 + 80737.5)

= $ 171337.5

Average total profit per customer,

= ( Average per customer payment - average cost of food per customer)

= $ (45.47 - 20.18)

= $ 25.29

So, total number of customer needed to break even,

= \frac {171337.5}{25.29}

\simeq   6775

Find the slope of the line. (Please explain if you can, and answer in an integer/fraction.)
Setler [38]

Answer:

-2

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the slope of a line by using two points

(-2,1) and (2,-7)

The slope is given by

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

   = (-7-1)/(2- -2)

   = (-8)/(2+2)

   = -8/4

   =-2
