Answer:
$8000 worth of sales
Step-by-step explanation:
We know Jack needs to make $1000 in 40 hours. We also know he makes 5% commission, meaning he gets 5% of the money from a sale, and that he makes $15/h.
First, lets find how much made from his hourly pay.
40 * $15 = $600
Now subtract that from how much he needs,
$1000 - $600 = $400
He still needs $400 from commissions. We know he makes 5% commission, so we can find the total value of the sales he'd need by multiplying 400 by 20 since 5% x 20 = 100%, aka the total value. $400 x 20 = $8000 in sales.
Answer:
what? that doesnt make sense
You don't have to give me that many points. :)
OK so let's write this in equation form. First thing we think about is if the equation arithmetic (they add the same amount of money each week) or geometric (they add steadily increasing or decreasing amounts of money each week). Since Nancy and Fred add a fixed amount of $3 and $1 respectively, we're going to call them arithmetic sequences.
The equation for an arithmetic sequence is
an=a0+dn, where d is the amount of money added every week, n is the week number they're on and a0 is the amount of money they would've had a week before the first week. I'll explain this more in detail.
So Nancy increases by $3 every week: d=3. n is what we want to find. She starts out with $15. Imagine she had the same rule (increasing by $3) but started a week earlier. The term before 15 is 12. So a0 is 12. Her equation is an=12+3n. Let's do the same for Fred.
Fred increases by $1 and if he started a week earlier, he would've started with $14, so his equation is an=14+n. Now you want to find n so that Nancy's account (the first equation equals two times as much money as Fred has (the second equation.
So 12+3n=2(14+n).
Solving for n,
12+3n=28+2n
Combine like terms, so subtract 2n from both sides and then subtract 12 from both sides.
12+n=28
n=16
So on the 16th week, Nancy will have twice as much money as Fred. Hope this helped!
