Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1/4a + 1/3a + 8 = 22

Collect like terms

1/4a + 1/3a = 22 - 8

Simplify

3a+4a/12 = 14

7/12a = 14

Divide both sides by 7/12

a = 14 ÷ 7/12

= 14 × 12/7

= 168/7

= 24

a = 24

Check:

1/4a + 1/3a + 8 = 22

1/4(24) + 1/3(24) + 8 = 22

24/4 + 24/3 + 8 = 22

6 + 8 + 8 = 22

22 = 22

For every car you sell, you get a 6% commission. IF your total sales for the month is $125,650, what is your commission?

Lera25 [3.4K]

Let
x= total cost of cars
y= total commission paid out for all cars sold

6%= 6/100 = .06

Set up an equation:
y= .06(x)

Given: x= $125,650

substitute into the y= .06(x)

multiply $125,650 by .06.

The answers would be: 7539

hope this helped :)

Jessica, Lauren and Kimmie were paid a total of $120 for babysitting in a ratio of 2:3:5. How much less did Jessica make than Ki

Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

Jessica makes $36 less than Kimmie

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> amount paid to Jessica

y ----> amount paid to Lauren

z ----> amount paid to Kimmie

we know that

$x+y+z=120$ ------> equation A

$\frac{x}{y}=\frac{2}{3}$

$x=\frac{2}{3}y$ -----> equation B

$\frac{y}{z}=\frac{3}{5}$

$z=\frac{5}{3}y$ -----> equation C

substitute equation B and equation C in equation A and solve for y

$\frac{2}{3}y+y+\frac{5}{3}y=120$

$\frac{10}{3}y=120$

$y=120(3)/10$

$y=36$

<em>Find the value of x</em>

$x=\frac{2}{3}(36)=24$

<em>Find the value of z</em>

$z=\frac{5}{3}(36)=60$

therefore

The amount paid to Jessica was $24

The amount paid to Lauren was $36

The amount paid to Kimmie was $60

To find out how much less Jessica did than Kimmie, subtract the amount paid to Jessica from the amount paid to Kimmie.

$\$60-\$24=\$36$

therefore

Jessica makes $36 less than Kimmie

Given △XPS≅△DNF, find the values of x and y.

White raven [17]

Answer:

x = 3

y = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

If △XPS ≅△DNF, their corresponding sides would be congruent. This implies that:

XP ≅ DN

PS ≅ NF

XS ≅ DF

Given that:

XP = 4y - 3

DN = 57

NF = 51

XS = 17x + 3

DF = 54

Therefore:

XP = DN

4y - 3 = 57 (Substitution)

Add 3 to both sides

4y = 57 + 3

4y = 60

Divide both sides by 4

y = 60/4

y = 15

Also,

XS = DF

17x + 3 = 54 (substitution)

Subtract 3 from each side

17x = 54 - 3

17x = 51

Divide both sides by 17

x = 51/17

x = 3
