It’s either B or D. I’m sorry I’m not so sure but I think it’s either one of those.
Answer:
$1,740
Step-by-step explanation:
Setting up an equation to solve for Lesley's total salary would be the sum of her monthly base salary ($1,500) and the amount of her commission for any sales over $20,000:
Salary = $1,500 + (sales - $20,000)(0.04)
Since Lesley sold $26,000 in sales this month, we can calculate her total salary and commission:
Salary = $1500 + ($26,000-$20,000)(0.04) or $1500 + ($6000)(0.04)
Salary = $1500 + $240 = $1,740.00
Is it a decimal ? or a whole number ?
if it is a decimal , the value is 8 tenths
if it’s a whole number , the value is 8 tens
hope this helped
You are buying 2 items so let's use two different variables to represent each:
p = number of tubes of paint
b = number of disposable brushes
cost = price per item × number of items
Equations from information given:
4p + 0.50b = 20 ← from the first 2 sentences
2p = b ← if there are twice as many brushes as paint tubes you need 2 times paint tubes to equal number of brushes
Solve the problem by using substitution... 1b equals 2p so replace b with that:
4p + 0.50(2p) = 20
4p + 1p = 20 ← 0.50 is half so half of 2p is 1p
5p = 20 ← combine like terms
p = 4 ← divide both sides of the equation by 5
Recall the equation 2p = b replace p with 4
2(4) = b
8 = b
ANSWER:
You purchased 4 tubes of paint and 8 disposable brushes.
An inequation is a mathematical expression that is used to make constraints given a problem.
For example, this is a problem of heights.
There is a minimum height and a maximum height.
We can use the following inequation to describe the problem:
Let
x = height in feet.
The inequation is:
-15 <= x <= 25
answer:
-15 <= x <= 25
