Answer:
a) 50,000 + 2x > 70,000
Step-by-step explanation:
Mrs. Lobo has an annual salary of $50000 per year plus 4% commission on her sales.
If she makes $y commission from sales, Mrs Lobo total income per year is:
$50000 + $y.
She makes 4% commission on her sales of share with the average price of a share = $50
Average commission from sales = 4% × $50 = 0.04 × 50 = $2
If she sales x shares in a year, her commission would be $2x for the year. Therefore her total income for that year would be:
50000 + 2x
The amount of shares Mrs Lobbo must sell to make an annual income of at
least $70,000 is given by the inequality:
50,000 + 2x > 70,000
Answer:
90 yards in 15 minutes =6 yds/min
90 yards in 9 minutes =10 yds/min
x = current rate
r = rowing rate
r + x = 10
r - x = 6 Adding both equations
2 r = 16
rowing rate = 8 yds/min
x = 2 yds/min (current rate)
Step-by-step explanation:
The simplest form would be x
The rule for power to a power is 'keep the base and multiply the powers'.
3 * (1/3) = 1
So it would be x^1 or just x
The median is 1 because that is the number in the middle
Answer:
(a) B
(b) $2
Step-by-step explanation:
(a) Let's say the cost of a ticket is t and the cost of popcorn is p. Then we can write the two equations from the table:
12t + 8p = 184
9t + 6p = 138
We need to solve this, so let's use elimination. Multiply the first equation by 3 and the second equation by 4:
3 * (12t + 8p = 184)
4 * (9t + 6p = 138)
We get:
36t + 24p = 552
36t + 24p = 552
Subtract the second from the first:
36t + 24p = 552
- 36t + 24p = 552
________________
0 = 0
Since we get down to 0 = 0, which is always true, we know that we cannot determine the cost of each ticket because there is more than one solution (infinitely many, actually). The answer is B.
(b) Our equation from this, if we still use t and p, is:
5t + 4p = 82
Now, just choose any of the two equations from above. Let's just pick 9t + 6p = 138. Now, we have the system:
5t + 4p = 82
9t + 6p = 138
To solve, let's use elimination again. Multiply the first equation by 6 and the second one by 4:
6 * (5t + 4p = 82)
4 * (9t + 6p = 138)
We get:
30t + 24p = 492
36t + 24p = 552
Subtract the second from the first:
36t + 24p = 552
- 30t + 24p = 492
________________
6t + 0p = 60
So, t = 60/6 = $10. Plug this back into any of the equations to solve for p:
5t + 4p = 82
5 * 10 + 4p = 82
50 + 4p = 82
4p = 32
p = 32/4 = $8
So the ticket costs 10 - 8 = $2 more dollars than the popcorn.
