Answer:
x = 6
<u><em>Sorry if this answer is not correct, if it is or is not, please tell me in the comments!</em></u>
Step-by-step explanation:
All of the angles add up to 180 degrees (since it is a triangle), so
(11x - 3) + (7x + 5) + (13x - 8) = 180
Then, combine the like terms.
31x - 6 = 180
Now, out goal is to separate the x from everything. To do that, we need to add 6 to 180.
31x = 186
Then divide by 31.
x = 6
(Feel free to replace x with 6 back in the previous equation to double check it!)
The total amount of money he only made is calculated by
the formula:
amount made = 15,200 – 912
amount made = 14,288
Therefore the percentage commission was:
% commission = 912 / 14,288 * 100%
<span>% commission = 6.38 %</span>
Perpendicular slopes multiply to -1, so are <em>negative reciprocals.</em>
-1 / -3 = 1/3
Answer: B. 1/3
