Lets begin with our y=mx+b, our constant(b) is 800 that she earns as a salary, our x represents the amount she sells, m then represents the commission which is 8.25% so converting that to a decimal and replacing it as m gets us y = 0.0825x+800. Replace $4500 for x and we have y=0.0825(4500)+800 solve and we get $1171.25
We're going to assume that x = # of days.
Plug 12 in as x:
4 × 12 = 48
48 + 6 = 54
They produced 54 boats in 12 days.
The answer is 42 feet I use substitution and subtract by 8
A) 6x -5y = 5
B) 3x + 5y = 4
Adding the equations:
9x = 9
x = 1
A) 6*1 -5y = 5
A) 6 - 5 = 5y
A) 5y = 1
y = 1/5 = .2
