Answer:
Total sales= 10000
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data
monthly salary=$1500
commission on total sales= 5.75%
gross pay=$2,075
Firstly, let us deduct the salary
2075-1500=$575
so Saiah earned a commission of $575
let the total sales be x
so 5.75% of x= $575
5.75/100*x=576
0.0575x=575
x=575/0.0575
x=10000 sales

WE HAVE STEM BRAINS
(x,y) so you start at the orgin and go down two because it's negative. then you go right six and plot your point.
negative number - down or left
positive number - up or right
Answer is (1) 160 km in 2 hours and
(2) 16 miles in 12 minutes.
Step by step.
80 km / 1 hour = x km /2 hours
Cross multiply =
x = 160
The second one requires a little more math. Because we are looking at how far in minutes, we change the rate of 80km in 1 hour to 80 km in 60 minutes.
80 km / 60 = x / 12
Cross multiply
12x = 960
Solve for x by dividing both sides by 12
X = 16
I did the math on a print screen to explain the cross multiply.
The error is that both sides of the equation have a variable. So if you were to combine your like terms, then you'd leave one side without a number and if your teacher is saying there is a left over number then it will be 0
