Three salesmen work for the same company, selling the same product. And, although they are all paid on a weekly basis, each sale
sman earns his paycheck differently. Salesman A works strictly on commission. He earns $65 per sale, with a maximum weekly commission of $1,300. Salesman B earns a weekly base salary of $300, plus a commission of $40 per sale. There are no limits on the amount of commission he can earn. Salesman C does not earn any commission. His weekly salary is $900. The following table shows the number of sales each salesman had during the first three weeks of this month. Week 1 Week 2 Week 3
Salesman A 11 14 16
Salesman B 14 15 13
Salesman C 16 12 11
In which week(s), did Salesman C have a larger paycheck than both of the other salesmen? Select all that apply.
Let x be the no. of seconds it takes for the balloons to be at the same height. 7+3x = 12+2x Deduct both sides by 2x. 7+x = 12 Deduct both sides by 7. x = 5 Ans: It will take 5 seconds for the balloons to be at the same height.
