(1) The three salespeople for a local advertising firm are Lola, Ahmed, and Tommy. Lola sold $2030 in ads, Ahmed sold $1540, and

Tommy sold $1800. (a) What fraction of the total sales did each salesperson sell? (b) A $100 bonus was awarded to the three salespeople, which they had to share. It was awarded so that each salesperson received the same fraction of $100 as he or she sold of the total sales. How much did each person receive? Round to the nearest whole cent.

A.) First, you find the total sales. $2030 + $1540 + $1800 = $5370. Then, divide each with the total. The answer would be:

Lola: 203/537
Ahmed: 154/537
Tommy: 60/179

b.) Divide 100 by 3 for equal shares. Each person receives $33.3.

Answer: a) Fraction of the total sales did each salesperson sell:-

\text{Lola}=\frac{203}{537}

\text{Ahmed}=\frac{154}{537}

\text{Tommy}=\frac{180}{537}

b) Each person receive=$33

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The three salespeople for a local advertising firm are Lola, Ahmed, and Tommy.

Sales by Lola= $2030

Sales by Ahmed=$1540

Sales by Tommy=$1800

Thus, the total sales= $2030+$1540+$1800=$5370

Fraction of the total sales did each salesperson sell:-

\text{Lola}=\frac{\text{Sales by Lola}}{\text{total sales}}=\frac{2030}{5370}=\frac{203}{537}

\text{Ahmed}=\frac{\text{Sales by Ahmed}}{\text{total sales}}=\frac{1540}{5370}=\frac{154}{537}

\text{Tommy}=\frac{\text{Sales by Tommy}}{\text{total sales}}=\frac{1800}{5370}=\frac{180}{537}

If $100 bonus was awarded to the three salespeople, then

Each person receive=\frac{\$100}{3}=33.33\approx\$33

Four mathematicians, three physicists, and an engineer are to be seated equally spaced around a circular table. How many differe
Vesna [10]

First, we can choose the seats for the four mathematicians.  Then we seat the physicits, then the engineer.  There are 4! ways to seat the mathematicians, then 3! ways to seat the physicists, then 1! ways to seat the engineer.  But then we must divide by 8, because we can rotate the table, so there are 8!*4!*3!/8 = 725760 ways to seat everyone.

Find the equation of the line that passes thru (-1,-5) and is parallel to 3x+y=-5. Show work.
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

y=-3x-8

Step-by-step explanation:

slope-intercept form:

y=mx+b

Start with the given equation, and to find the slope, convert it to slope-intercept form by solving for y.

3x+y=-5

In this case, all you need to do is subtract 3x from both sides.

y=-3x-5

Here, the slope is -3. The slope of a parallel line will also be -3.

Now, we have 3 known variables. We have the slope and the x and y of a known point. Use those 3 knowns to solve for the 1 unknown, the y-intercept.

y=mx+b\\-5=(-3)(-1)+b\\-5=3+b\\-8=b\\b=-8

Finally, with the slope and the y-intercept, you can write the equation of the line:

y=-3x-8

the legs of a right triangle are 4 units and 7 units. What is the length of the hypotenuse? Select one: a. square root 33 units
Mrac [35]

\bf \textit{using the pythagorean theorem} \\\\ c^2=a^2+b^2\implies c=\sqrt{a^2+b^2} \qquad \begin{cases} c=hypotenuse\\ a=adjacent\\ b=opposite\\ \end{cases} \\\\\\ c=\sqrt{4^2+7^2}\implies c=\sqrt{65}
