Answer: 60 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

if it is 10 percent off, it would mean it is currently at a 90 percent price point.

Divide 54 by 9 to find out how much 10 percent is worth.

54 / 9

Multiplying that by 10 would find us how much 100 percent of the price is worth.

10 *6 =

60 dollars

A salesperson receives step commission on sales calculated as follows: * 8% on first $1000 _________________ * 12% next $2000 __

Sonja [21]

Step-by-step explanation: Assuming the commission is calculated on a weekly basis and no sales were made on Saturday or Sunday:

Total Sales = $12794.23

8% of $1000 = $80

12% of $2000 = $240

20% of $9794.23 = $1958.85

Total = $2278.85

Help pls :( Solve for x. -4 + 3x = 20

$\huge\text{Hey there!}$

$\large\textsf{-4 + 3x = 20}\\\rightarrow\large\textsf{3x - 4 = 20}\\\\\large\text{ADD 4 to BOTH SIDES}\\\large\textsf{3x - 4 + 4 = 20 + 4}\\\large\text{CANCEL out: \textsf{-4 + 4} because that gives you \textsf 0}\\\large\text{KEEP: \textsf{20 + 4}} \text{ because it gives you the \textsf{x-value}}}\\\\\large\textsf{20 + 4 = \bf 24}\\\\\large\text{DIVIDE 3 to BOTH SIDES}\\\\\mathsf{\dfrac{3x}{3}= \dfrac{24}{3}}\\\large\text{CANCEL out: }\mathsf{\dfrac{3}{3}}\large\text{ because that gives you \textsf 1}$

$\large\text{KEEP: }\mathsf{\dfrac{24}{3}}\large\text{ because it helps gives you the result of the \textsf{x-value}}\\\\\mathsf{x = \dfrac{24}{3}}\\\\\large\textsf{x= 24}\div \large\textsf{3}}\\\large\textsf{x = \bf 8}\\\\\boxed{\boxed{\huge\text{Therefore, your answer is: \textsf{x = 8}}}}\huge\checkmark$
