The constant of proportionality based on the situation is 0.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Tanner cycled 8 miles in 20 minutes

We need to find the constant of proportionality based on the situation

1. The distance is proportion to the time, because the distance and

the time increased together

2. If the distance d and the time is t, then d ∝ t

3. The equation of the direct proportion is d = k t, where k is the

constant of proportionality

∵ d = k t

∵ d = 8 miles

∵ t = 20 minutes

- Substitute these values in the equation above

∴ 8 = k (20)

- Divide both sides by 20

∴ k = 0.4

The constant of proportionality based on the situation is 0.4

Danielle earns a 8.25% commission on everything she sells at the electronics store where she works. She also earns a base salary

Mariulka [41]

Answer: her sales last week was $4300.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent her her sales in a week.

Danielle earns a 8.25% commission on everything she sells at the electronics store where she works. This means that the commission she gets if she makes sales of $x is 0.0825x

She also earns a base salary of $675 per week. The expression for the total earnings for a week in which she made sales of $x would be

0.0825x + 675

if her total earnings for last week were $1,029.75, it means that

0.0825x + 675 = 1029.75

0.0825x = 1029.75 - 675

0.0825x = 354.75

x = 354.75/0.0825

x = $4300

What is the correct answer in the photo A. B. C. or .D please explain why

balu736 [363]

Answer:

I think its D)

Step-by-step explanation:

7x−3y+2=0

Add -7x to both sides.

7x−3y+2+−7x=0+−7x

−3y+2=−7x

Add -2 to both sides.

−3y+2+−2=−7x+−2

−3y=−7x−2

Divide both sides by -3.

−3y /−3 = −7x−2 /−3

which equals d)
