43,135 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Average speed: 21 miles per gallon

Fuel: 21.2 gallons

The distance (d) traveled with this amount of fuel is:

21.2 gal × 21 mi/gal = 4,452  mi

The distance traveled is equal to the difference between the final reading of the odometer and the initial one.

d = final reading - initial reading

initial reading = final reading - d = 43,795 mi - 6.6 × 10² mi = 43,135 miles

We can estimate that the initial reading of the odometer was around 43,135 miles

Harman [31]

Answer:

Lixins monthly sales = $18,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the total sales.

Given:

Basic salary = $500

Commission on sales = 4% = 0.04

Monthly income = $1220

We need to find her sales for the month.

Solution:

First we write the equation for given situation:

Total\ sales = Basic\ Salary + 0.04(Total\ sales)

S = 500 + 0.04x

1200=500+0.04x

0.04x=1220-500

0.04x=720

x = \frac{720}{0.04}

x = \$18,000

Therefore, Lixins monthly sales are $18,000.
