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:

4.5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the height in inches of the model, you need to change the ration into a fraction:

\frac{1}{50}

Then try to figure out the value of the denominator in terms of the ratio:

\frac{1}{50} =\frac{x}{725}

In this equation we need to figure out how much the denominator of the fraction is changing by, by dividing 725 by 50. Then, multiply that by one:

4.5

Answer:

1. Steve's age is 18 and Anne's age is 8.

2. Max's age is 17 and Bert's age is 11.

3. Sury's age is 19 and Billy's age is 9.

4. The man's age is 30 and his son's age is 10.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let us assume that:

S = Steve's age now

A = Anne's age now

Therefore, in four years, we have:

S + 4 = (A + 4)2 - 2

S + 4 = 2A + 8 - 2

S + 4 = 2A + 6 .................. (1)

Three years ago, we have:

S - 3 = (A - 3)3

S - 3 = 3A - 9 ................................ (2)

From equation (2), we have:

S = 3A - 9 + 3

S = 3A – 6 …………. (3)

Substitute S from equation (3) into equation (1) and solve for A, we have:

3A – 6 + 4 = 2A + 6

3A – 2A = 6 + 6 – 4

A = 8

Substitute A = 8 into equation (3), we have:

S = (3 * 8) – 6

S = 24 – 6

S = 18

Therefore, Steve's age is 18 while Anne's age is 8.

2. Let us assume that:

M = Max's age now

B = Bert's age now

Therefore, five years ago, we have:

M - 5 = (B - 5)2

M - 5 = 2B - 10 .......................... (4)

A year from now, we have:

(M + 1) + (B + 1) = 30

M + 1 + B + 1 = 30

M + B + 2 = 30 .......................... (5)

From equation (5), we have:

M = 30 – 2 – B

M = 28 – B …………………… (6)

Substitute M from equation (6) into equation (4) and solve for B, we have:

28 – B – 5 = 2B – 10

28 – 5 + 10 = 2B + B

33 = 3B

B = 33 / 3

B = 11

Substituting B = 11 into equation (6), we have:

M = 28 – 11

M = 17

Therefore, Max's age is 17 while Bert's age is 11.

3. Let us assume that:

S = Sury's age now

B = Billy's age now

Therefore, now, we have:

S = B + 10 ................................ (7)

Next year, we have:

S + 1 = (B + 1)2

S + 1 = 2B + 2 .......................... (8)

Substituting S from equation (7) into equation (8) and solve for B, we have:

B + 10 + 1 = 2B + 2

10 + 1 – 2 = 2B – B

B = 9

Substituting B = 9 into equation (7), we have:

S = 9 + 10

S = 19

Therefore, Sury's age is 19 while Billy's age is 9.

4. Let us assume that:

M = The man's age now

S = His son's age now

Therefore, now, we have:

M = 3S ................................... (9)

Five years ago, we have:

M - 5 = (S - 5)5

M - 5 = 5S - 25 ................ (10)

Substituting M from equation (9) into equation (10) and solve for S, we have:

3S - 5 = 5S – 25

3S – 5S = - 25 + 5

-2S = - 20

S = -20 / -2

S = 10

Substituting S = 10 into equation (9), we have:

M = 3 * 10

M = 30

Therefore, the man's age is 30 and his son's age is 10.
