Every week Kabore gets paid $100 plus 5% of his sales. How much does he need to sell if he wants to make $700 this week?

Answer:

$12,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Kabore wants to make $700 this week. We can subtract 100 from that amount because his base pay is $100.

700 - 100 = 600

This leaves us with 600. Kabore has to make $600 from his sales. However, he only gets paid 5% of his sales. So, 600 is worth 5% of his sales. This can be represented in an equation, where x represents his sales and 0.05 is 5% in decimal form:

\frac{600}{x} = 0.05

Multiply both sides of the equation by x to isolate it on one side:

600 = 0.05x

Divide both sides by 0.05 to find the value of x:

12000 = x

Kabore needs to sell $12,000 worth of product if he wants to make $700 this week.

Hope this helps :)

EASY QUICK POINTS!!!! Find the altitude of an equilateral triangle if each side of the triangle has the length of 6 meters!!!
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

5.20  to the nearest hundredth.

Step-by-step explanation:

The altitude line bisects the base of the triangle to form 2 right  angled triangles with hypotenuse = 6 and the base = 3.

So,  by the Pythagoras theorem the altitude is  calculated as follows:

6^2 = 3^2 + x^2

x^2 = 36 - 9 = 27

x = √27

= 5.20  to the nearest hundredth.

Solve: -25 &lt; x + 20 &lt; 25
denis23 [38]

Answer:

-45 < x < 5 (see graph below)

Step-by-step explanation:

to isolate x by itself, subtract 20 from all three terms of the equation:

(-25-20)

once you finish subtracting 20, x should be by itself, making the equation graphable:

-45 < x < 5

since x is not equal to -45 or 25, the graph line endings have open circles.
