let t be time then distance travelled by both is
Mr Burges ⇔ d = 50t ( distance = speed × time )
Mrs Burges ⇒ d = 70(t - 3)
At the point of overtaking both will have travelled the same distance
equating their distance and solving for t
70(t - 3) = 50t
70t - 210 = 50t ( subtract 50t from both sides )
20t - 210 = 0 ( add 210 to both sides )
20t = 210 ( divide both sides by 20 )
t = 10.5 hours
<span>Jack Watkins earns a base salary of $1500 a month, plus a 4% commission on the sales he makes. What is his gross pay of his sales for the month are $8000.
solution:
Gross pay=(salary)+(commissions)
base salary=$1500
commission=4%
monthly sales=$8000
commissions earned in cash
=4/100</span>×8000
=$320
thus
Gross salary=320+1500=$1820
First we have to find the decimal equivalent by dividing.
5 / 8 = 0.625
It can't be an Integer because decimals can't be intergers, so that's ruled out
It can't be repeating as it does end, so that's also ruled out
Since the decimal does end it can't be non-terminating, non-repeating
So the answer is Terminating Decimal by process of elimination
When you evaluate the expression “12 more than 5” you would get the product of 60.
