hello :
<span> (21)(7)(3x) = (21×7×3)(x) = 441x </span>
Probability is (outcome wanted)/(total possible outcomes). Total possible outcome is the whole area of the rectangle. Which is (18)(12)=216. The outcome wanted is just the area of the triangle. (0.5)(2)(5)=5. Now 5/216=0.02
That would be d.
Remember, the distributive property is a(b+c) = ab +ac!
Hope this helps.
If you have any questions, place it in the comment section below.
You haven't provided the $ or % that he gets, but I will attempt to use algebraic terms to explain it instead.
If the salesman sells a car for $<em>a</em> and gets <em>b</em>% of the sale price as commission, then what you need to do is divide the <em>a</em> by 100, then multiply it by <em>b</em> to find out <em>b</em>% of <em>a</em>. This will be the commission that he will earn.
<em>a </em>/ 100 x <em>b</em> = commission earned in $
Edit
<em>You've now supplied me with the $ and %, let me explain it again.</em>
To find out the commission that he will earn, you divide 8,100 by 100 then multiply it by 9.
8,100 / 100 = 81
81 x 9 = $729 commission earned.
