Answer:
$12,500.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that a salesperson works 40 hours per week at a job where he has two options for being paid. Option A is an hourly wage of $25. Option B is a commission rate of 8% on weekly sales.
First of all we will find amount earned by salesperson with option A.
The salespersons earns $1000 through option A.
Let x be the amount of weekly sales.
8% of x should be equal to 1000 for salesman to earn the same amount with the two options.
Therefore, the salesman needs to make a weekly sales of $12,500 to earn the same amount with two options.
The scale factor would be used in solving for the volume inside the larger chest. By definition, a scale factor is considered to be the ratio of similar sides of similar figures. By using this method:
Scale factor^² = 6/4 = 3/2
<span>Scale factor = √3 / √2
</span>
The solution would yield to a final answer of 83.7 percent larger volume compared to the smaller chest.

Answer:</h3>
5/2

Step-by-step explanation:</h3>
Start by eliminating parentheses.
... 2n +4 +6 = -9 +8n +4
... 10 = -5 +6n . . . . subtract 2n
... 15 = 6n . . . . . . . add 5
... 15/6 = n = 5/2
_____
<u>Check</u>
(2·5/2 +4) +6 = -9 +4(2·5/2 +1)
5 +4 +6 = -9 +4(5 +1)
15 = -9 +24 . . . . . true, so the answer checks OK
Answer: 11x
---------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------
Explanation:
Let L be the length of rectangle B
There are two copies of L (along the top and bottom of the rectangle). The vertical pairs of sides are both 7x each.
For the triangle, we have three sides of 12x since this is an equilateral triangle. All three sides are congruent for any equilateral triangle.
The perimeter of the triangle is
P = s1+s2+s3
P = 12x+12x+12x
P = 36x
The perimeter of the rectangle is
P = 2*L+2*W
P = 2L+2*7x
P = 2L+14x
Since both perimeters are the same, this means
perimeter of triangle = perimeter of rectangle
36x = 2L+14x
36x-14x = 2L+14x-14x
22x = 2L
2L = 22x
2L/2 = 22x/2
L = 11x
So the length of the rectangle, in terms of x, is 11x. This is the final answer.
Note: if we knew the value of x, then we could find the numeric value of the length for the rectangle. But since we don't know x, we leave it as 11x.
Since variables x and y are in direct proportion,
Y = 12.5/25 x 40
Y = 0.5 x 40
Y = 20.
