Answer:

Terrence made $30 more than Teresa.

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Terrence earns $450 per week.

Teresa earns $300 per week plus a 6% commission on the total sales of books she sells.

<u>First, we need to structure the total income formula for each:</u>

<u></u>

Terrence= 450

Teresa= 300 + 0.06*x

x= sales

<u>Now, for $2,000 sales of books:</u>

<u></u>

Terrence= $450

Teresa= 300 + 0.06*2,000= $420

the perimeter of an equilateral triangle is 39 centimeters. What is the length of an altitude of the triangle ?​
victus00 [196]

Answer: h = 11.26cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Equilateral triangle has equal sides, let the side be xcm , then the perimeter is 3x

Therefore:

3x = 39

x = 39/3

x = 13cm

To find the altitude , we will apply Pythagoras theorem , that is

13^{2}=h^{2}+6.5^{2}

Therefore:

h^{2}=13^{2}-6.5^{2}

h^{2}=169-42.25

h^{2}=126.75

take the square root of both sides

h = 11.26cm

A study showed that the ratio of the number of people who get their news from social media to the number of people who their new
Kitty [74]

Answer: 240 people get the news from social media

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the number of people who get their news from social media to the number of people who their news elsewhere is 3:7

Total ratio is the sum of the proportion of those that get their news from social media and those that got their news elsewhere.

It becomes 3+7 = 10

Total number of people in the town is 800

To determine the number of people that got their news from social media, we will divide the proportion of those that get their news from social media by the total ratio and multiply by the total number of people in the town. It becomes

3/10 × 800 = 240

The admission fee at a movie theater is $5 for children and $9 for adults. If 3200 people go to the movies and $24000 is collect
Usimov [2.4K]
For this problem, let x be the number of children and y for adults. Formulate the equations: 1st equation, x + y = 3,200 and 2nd equation 5x + 9y = 24,000. Re-arrange 1st equation into x = 3200 - y. Then, substitute into 2nd equation, 5(3,200-y) + 9y = 24,000. Then, solve for y. The 16,000 - 5y + 9y = 24000. Final answer is, y = 2000 adults went to watch the movie.

Will give BRAINLEST :)
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

This explanation mostly depends on what you're learning right now. The first way would be to convert this matrix to a system of equations like this.

g + t + k = 90

g + 2t - k = 55

-g - t + 3k = 30

Then you solve using normal methods of substitution or elimination. It seems to me that elimination is the quickest method.

g + t + k = 90

-g - t + 3k = 30

____________

0 + 0 + 4k = 120

4k = 120

k = 30

No you can plug this into the first two equations

g + t + (30) = 90

g + t = 60

and

g + 2t - (30) = 55

g + 2t = 85

now use elimination again by multiplying the first equation by -1

g + 2t = 85

-g - t = -60

_________

0 + t = 25

t = 25

Now plug those both back into one of the equations. I'll just do the first one.

g + (25) + (30) = 90

g = 35

Therefore, we know that Ted spent the least amount of time on the computer.

The second method is using matrix reduction and getting the matrix in the row echelon form, therefore solving using the gauss jordan method. If you would like me to go through this instead, please leave a comment.
