kykrilka [37]

Answer:

$2278.846

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following commision steps :

8% on first $1000;

12% next $2000;

20% on sales above $3000

Recorded sales for a week :

Monday $1500.00

Tuesday $3000.00

Wednesday $ 970.00

Thursday $4563.81

Friday $2760.42

This assu es that commision is calculated after weekly sales:

Total:

(1500 + 3000 + 970 + 4563.81 + 2760.42)

= $12794.23

8% on first $1000

0.08 × $1000 = $80

12% of $2000 = $240

20% of $(12794.23 - 3000)

= 0.2 × 9794.23

= 1958.846

Total commision for the week :

$(80 + 240 + 1958.846)

= $2278.846

Two and two fifths divided by one and a half
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

8/5 or 1 3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

2 2/5 = 12/5

1 1/2 = 3/2

Now that we have fractions that are easier to divide, one must understand that the opposite of dividing is multiplying. So if you multiply 12/5 by the reciprocal* of 3/2, which would be 2/3, you would get your answer so...

12     3         12    2        24     8             3

—  ÷ —   =   — × —    =  —  = —   <em>or</em>  1  —

5       2         5     3        15      5             5

*the reciprocal is the opposite of the fraction you have. So the denominator would become the numerator, and vise versa.

The local newspaper has letters to the editor from 70 people. If this number represents 5% of all of the​ newspaper's readers, h
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

This shows us that there are 1400 readers.

Step-by-step explanation:

To work this out you would first need to find how many times 5% goes into 100%, You can do this by dividing 100 by 5, this gives you 20. This is because the whole amount  is equivalent to 100%.

To work out the total number of readers you would multiply 70 by 20, this gives you 1400. This is because we know that 70 is equivalent to 5% and that 5% goes into 100% 20. So by multiplying 70 by 20 we are working out the total (100%), and that this shows us there are 1400 readers.

1) Divide 100 by 5.

100/5=20

2) Multiply 70 by 20.

70*20=1400
