1. The three salespeople for a local advertising firm are Sara, Kenny, and Leila. Sara sold $3350 in ads, Kenny sold $1368, and

Leila sold $456. (a) What fraction of the total sales did each salesperson sell? Show all of your work. (b) A $150 bonus was awarded to the three salespeople, which they had to share. It was awarded so that each salesperson received the same fraction of $150 as he or she sold of the total sales. How much did each person receive? Round to the nearest whole cent. Show all of your work.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Sara sold $3350 in ads,

Kenny sold $1368, and

Leila sold $456

(a)

total sale=3350+1368+456=$5174

Sara's fraction=3350/5174=0.6475

Kenny's fraction=1368/5174=0.2644

Leila's fraction=456/5174=0.0881

(b)

total bonus=$150

Sara's bonus=150*0.6475=$97.12

Kenny's bonus=150*0.2644=$39.66

Leila's bonus=150*0.0881=$13.22

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) Sum of all three salespeople's sales is $3350+$1368+$456 equal to $5174

Fraction = Each salespeople's sale / Sum of all sales

Sara = $3350/$5174 = 0.648

Kenny = $1368/$5174 = 0.264

Leila = $456/$5174 = 0.088

(b) Bonus for all three salespeople is $150

Bonus for each is same fraction of $150 of total sales

Sara = $150*0.648 = $97.12

Kenny = $150*0.264 = $39.66

Leila = $150*0.088 = $13.22

C. mouse
if you think about it it is pretty simple to figure out of you put the animals in proportion to other things that weigh an ounce such as a pen, a screw, or a CD

How to find the perimeter of the triangle

Sliva [168]

Answer:

A. 26.2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the perimeter of the triangle, you have to find the distances of all three lines and add them up.

<u>Line AB</u>

Let's start off by finding the distance of line AB.

We will use the formula, $d = \sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^{2}+(y_{2}-y_{1})^{2}}$ .

Point A is (-2,5) and Point B is (4,-3).

To substitute the values, it will get to $d = \sqrt{(4--2)^{2}+(-3-5)^{2}}$ which in other words is $d = \sqrt{(4+2)^{2}+(-3-5)^{2}}$ .

Now we have to solve the parenthesis to get $d = \sqrt{(6)^{2}+(-8)^{2}}$ .

Now we have to solve the exponents which would get to $d = \sqrt{36+64}$ .

Now we have to simplify the square root to $d = \sqrt{100}$ . In other words, that is $d = 10$ .

Line AB = 10

<u>Line BC</u>

Now let's find the distance of line BC.

We will use the same formula, $d = \sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^{2}+(y_{2}-y_{1})^{2}}$ .

Point B is (4,-3) and Point C is (0,-6).

To substitute the values, it will get to $d = \sqrt{(0-4)^{2}+(-6--3)^{2}}$ which in other words is $d = \sqrt{(0-4)^{2}+(-6+3)^{2}}$ .

Now we have to solve the parentheses to get $d = \sqrt{(-4)^{2}+(-3)^{2}}$ .

Now we have to solve the exponents which would get to $d = \sqrt{16+9}$ .

Now we have to simplify the square root to $d = \sqrt{25}$ . In other words, that is $d = 5$ .

Line BC = 5.

<u>Line AC</u>

Now let's fine the distance of line AC.

We will use the same formula, $d = \sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^{2}+(y_{2}-y_{1})^{2}}$ .

Point A is (-2,5) and Point C is (0,-6).

To substitute the values, it will get to $d = \sqrt{(0--2)^{2}+(-6-5)^{2}}$ which in other words is $d = \sqrt{(0+2)^{2}+(-6-5)^{2}}$ .

Now we have to solve the parentheses to get $d = \sqrt{(2)^{2}+(-11)^{2}}$ .

Now we have to solve the exponents which would get to $d = \sqrt{4+121}$ .

Now we have to simplify the square root to $d = \sqrt{125}$ . In other words, that is $d = 5\sqrt{5}$ . To round that, $d = 11.2$ .

Line AC = 11.2.

<u>Perimeter of Triangle ABC</u>

Perimeter of Triangle ABC = Line AB + Line BC + Line AC.

Perimeter of Triangle ABC = 10 + 5 + 11.2

Perimeter of Triangle ABC = 26.2

Y=x^2-6x+3 help write the vertex form of the equation

Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

$y=(x-3)^2-6$

Step-by-step explanation:

$y=x^2-6x+3$

This is written in the standard form of a quadratic function:

$y=ax^2+bx+c$

where:

ax² → quadratic term
bx → linear term
c → constant

You need to convert this to vertex form:

$y=a(x-h)^2+k$

where:

(h,k) → vertex

To find the vertex form, you need to find the vertex. For this, use the equation for axis of symmetry, since this line passes through the vertex:

$x=-\frac{b}{2a}$

Using your original equation, identify the a, b, and c terms:

$a=1\\\\b=-6\\\\c=3$

Insert the known values into the equation:

$x=-\frac{(-6)}{2(1)}$

Simplify. Two negatives make a positive:

$x=\frac{6}{2} =3$

X is equal to 3 (3,y). Insert the value of x into the standard form equation and solve for y:

$y=3^2-6(3)+3$

Simplify using PEMDAS:

$y=9-18+3\\\\y=-9+3\\\\y=-6$

The value of y is -6 (3,-6). Insert these values into the vertex form:

$(3_{h},-6_{k})\\\\y=a(x-3)^2+(-6)$

Insert the value of a and simplify:

$y=(x-3)^2-6$

:Done
