His basic salary is $ 2,500, his commission on sales is 3% (on sales only)
At the end of te month he got $3,040

Let x be the TOTAL sales performed during this month, so the money generated from sales (only) is (x).(3%), Hence the equation:

2500 + (x).(3%) = 3040
2500 + x(0.03) = 3040
x(0.03) = 3040-2500
x(0.03) = 540

and x = 540/0.03
x = $18,000

Bob has some 10 lb weights and some 3 lb weights. Together, all his weights add up to 50 lbs. If x represents the number of 3 lb

olga2289 [7]

Answer:

3x = 50 - 10y

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, x represents the number of 3 lb weights and y represents the number of 10 lb weights,

So, total weight of 3 lb weights = 3x

And, the weight of 10 lb weights = 10y

Total weight of all his weights = 3x + 10y

According to the question,

Total weight = 50 lb,

⇒ 3x + 10y = 50

Or 3x = 50 - 10y

Which is the required equation.

Second option is correct.
