Answer:

$48,000 to start, with 6% raises

Step-by-step explanation:

The starting salaries are within a few percentage points of each other, so the majority of the difference in earnings will come because of the raises. The offer with the largest raise percentage is likely the best.

The earnings total can be figured as the sum of a geometric series with a first term of "starting salary" and a growth factor of (1+raise percentage). For starting salary 's' and raise percentage 'r', the total earnings in 6 years will be ...

S = s((1+r)^6 -1)/r

Here are the total earnings, in thousands, for each of the offers:

a) s = 49, r = .03, S = 316.95

b) s = 51, r = .01, S = 313.75

c) s = 48, r = .06, S = 334.82 . . . . best offer

d) s = 50, r = .02, S = 315.41

The worker can earn the most from a starting salary of $48,000 and 6% increases each year.

7) David bought a computer that was 20% off the regular price of $1080. If an 8% sales tax was added to the cost of the computer

Aneli [31]

Hello there! I can help you!

7. Okay. So the computer was originally $1,080, and the discount is 20%, but David would still have to pay 80% of the original price. To find the sale price, let's multiply. 1,080 * 80% (0.8) is 864. The sale price of the compuet is $864, but now we must add the sales tax to find the total price. We will multiply by 108%, because 100% (representing the price + 8% is 108%, and doing this will get us stright to the total price. 864 * 108% (1.08) is 933.12. There. David paid a total price of $933.12 for the computer.

8. Okay. So we are looking for the amount of discount for the sweater Suzanne bought. First off, let's subtract the prices to find the difference. 40 - 25 is 15. Now, let's divide that by 40 (the original price) to find the discount. 15/40 is 0.375. Or 37.5% when converted into a percentage. There. Suzanne received a 37.5% discount on the sweater when she bought it.

9. So the car was bought for x dollars. 0.88 represents 88%, so the value of the car is 88% of the previous year. An expression that is a way to describe the change in car value is x * (100 - 0.12)^t, because you car loses 12% of the remaining value each year, which leaves 88% of it remaining, and having the t as the exponent represents the number of years. That expression helps find the value of the car currently and can help you compare the values.

The parameters of a linear function are the slope and the y-intercept

taurus [48]

Answer:

see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

A linear function in slope intercept form is equal to

$f(x)=mx+b$

where

m is the slope or unit rate

b is the y-intercept

x is the independent variable or input value

f(x) is the dependent variable or output value

In this problem we have

$f(m)=5+3m$

where

m is the number of miles

f(m) is the cab company's fare in dollars

we have that

In this context

<em>Slope</em>

The slope or unit rate is equal to the cost per mile for the riders trip

The slope is $3 per mile

<em>Y-intercept</em>

The y-intercept is the cost of the riders trip when the number of miles is equal to zero, also is called the initial value.

The y-intercept is $5

Angel bought 8 oranges and 11 apples for a total of $15.22.He knows that each orange cost $0.50 and reasoned that each Apple mus

Schach [20]

Oranges = x
apples = y

8x + 11y = 15.22
x = 0.50

8(0.50) + 11y = 15.22
4 + 11y = 15.22
11y = 15.22 - 4
11y = 11.22
y = 11.22/11
y = 1.02 <== cost of each apple
