\frac{15}{150}  \\  =  \frac{10}{100}  \\  = 10\%

C = 150 x 10%

Hope this helps. - M

Solution:

we are given that

The commission Gary earns is proportional to the cost of the shoes he sells.

Gary earns $15 in commission for every $150 worth of shoes that he sells.

we have been asked to find

Which equation gives the total commission, C, Gary will earn based on the cost, s, of the shoes he sells?

Since commission is $15 for a sells of $150.

So we can write

C=\frac{15}{150}*S\\\\\text{where S=Revenue from sell, C = Commission earned}\\

\Rightarrow C=\frac{1}{10}*S\\\\\Rightarrow C=\frac{S}{10}\\ is the required equation.

Harman [31]

Answer:

For a duration of 5 years, Monthly Payment =$600.42

For a duration of 6 years, Monthly Payment =$508.83

Step-by-step explanation:

P=\dfrac{ar (1+r)^n}{(1+r)^n-1} \\

where a= Amount to Finance=$33,000

Annual interest rate = 3.5%=0.035

r=Monthly Interest Rate= 0.035 ÷ 12 =\frac{7}{2400}

n=number of months to pay

For a duration of 5 years

n=5X12=60 months

P=\dfrac{ar (1+r)^n}{(1+r)^n-1} \\\\P=\dfrac{33000 X\frac{7}{2400} (1+\frac{7}{2400} )^{60}}{(1+\frac{7}{2400})^{60}-1} \\=\dfrac{96.25 (1.1909)}{1.1909-1}\\=\dfrac{96.25 (1.1909)}{0.1909}\\=\dfrac{114.62}{0.1909}=\$600.42

For a duration of 6 years

n=6X12=72 months

P=\dfrac{ar (1+r)^n}{(1+r)^n-1} \\\\P=\dfrac{33000 X\frac{7}{2400} (1+\frac{7}{2400} )^{72}}{(1+\frac{7}{2400})^{72}-1} \\=\dfrac{96.25 (1.2333)}{1.2333-1}\\=\dfrac{96.25 (1.2333)}{0.2333}\\=\dfrac{118.71}{0.2333}=\$508.83

plzzz help A model train is on a track 100 cm from its starting point. Turning a switch displaces the train either forward or ba
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer: B.  |x-100| = 25

Explanation:

Draw out a number line. Mark 75, 100 and 125 on the number line as points A, B, and C in that order. Don't worry about the spacing.

The value of x represents where the train is. So if we had say x = 85, then it would be at location 85 on the number line. Writing |x-100| is the distance from x to 100. The absolute value ensures the distance is never negative. We want this distance to be 25 because after traveling 25 cm, the switch is turned, and the train goes the other way.

What is 36j + j<br><br> please help and explain if you can!!! :)
Norma-Jean [14]
36j + j = 37j

Explanation.
You could translate this sum into a normal sebtence: I have 36 apples and add 1 apple more.

The sum will then be 36 apples + apple = 37 apples.
Replacing the word (in this explanation 'apple') by a letter learns us 36a + a = 37a

Hence 36j + j = 37j
