Answer:

  • pitcher: $48 million
  • shortstop: $8 million

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of salaries can be written as ...

   short : pitcher = 1 : 6

Then the fraction of the total that the shortstop received is ...

  short : total = 1 : (1+6) = 1 : 7

The shortstop's salary was (1/7)×($56 million) = $8 million.

The pitcher's salary was 6 times that, so 6×($8 million) = $48 million.

The pitcher's salary was $48 million; the shortstop's, $8 million.

3 Questions Math! HELP!!!
Sveta_85 [38]
1) Since the larger number is a negative, you’re going to get a negative solution for number one. An easy way to do the math is to ignore the negative sign in (-116) For a moment. And subtract 56 from it.
116 - 56 = 60. Don’t forget to place the negative sign we pushed to this side before the solution. The answer is -60.

2) We do the same thing we did in number one, but with new numbers. The answer in total is -178.

3. As stated, we do the same thing we did in number one. Just because there’s a decimal doesn’t change much. And your answer would be -1.1

Daniel works at a nearby electronics store. He makes a commission of 15% on everything she cells. If he sells a laptop for $293,
Bezzdna [24]

Hi there!

So here's the important information we know:

He makes 15% comission on everything he sells

He sells a laptop for $293


To find out how much money Daniel makes in comission for the laptop, you need to calculate 15% of $293, which is the same thing as multiplying 15% by $293 :

15% × 293 = $

0.15 × 293 = $

43,95 = $


So your answer is: If Daniel sells a laptop for $293, he makes a comission of $43,95.


There you go! I really hope this helped, if there's anything just let me know! :)

Paul has $30,000 to invest. His intent is to earn 15% interest on his investment. He can invest part of his money at 8% interest
jeka94

Answer:

Amount invested at 8% is $9000 and amount invested at 18% is $21000.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let amount invested at 8% be x.

Let amount invested at 18% be y.

We get the 1st equation as:

x+y=30000       ........(1)

We get the second equation as:

0.08x+0.18(y)=0.15\times30000

=> 0.08x+0.18y=4500

or getting rid of the decimal by multiplying by 100 on both sides.

8x+18y=450000          ........(2)

Multiplying (1) by 8 and subtracting from (2) we get

10y=210000  

So, y = 21000

And x+21000=30000

x = 30000-21000

So, x = 9000

Therefore, amount invested at 8% is $9000 and amount invested at 18% is $21000.
