Set up a system of equations
Let x=first salesperson's paycheck
y=second salesperson's paycheck
x= y-.15y
x+y= 1425

Solve by substituting x
(y-.15y)+y= 1425
1.85y= 1425
y= 770.27

Substitute 770.27 for y in order to solve for x
x= (770.27)-.15(770.27)
x= 770.27-115.54
x=654.73

So the first salesperson(x) has a paycheck of $654.73 and the second salesperson(y) has a paycheck of $770.27.

Hope this helps!

Ranking in order from best to worst : Point, line, plane.

Step-by-step explanation:

12.A point in geometry is a location with no size and is shown by a dot. A point is the most fundamental object in geometry that represents a position.

A line can be defined as a connected set made up of  infinitely many points.A line has one dimension and extends in infinitely in different directions.It has zero width and zero height.

A plane is an infinite set of points forming a connected flat surface that extends infinitely far in all directions. In a plane, the width, length and height are infinite.

13.

Points S and V are collinear points.

Points R, and U are collinear points

Points  Q and T are collinear points

The figure has no plane indicated

Jerry has been learning to multiply decimals by Integers.
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiplying an integer by 0.01 is the same as Dividing such as :

0.01 = 10^-2

100= 10

For instance :

A number, n = 5 is multiplied by 10^-2

5 * 0.01 = 0.05

Thus, divide the number, n by 100;

5 / 100 = 0.05

Hence, the proof.

Observations can you make from a comparison of the number of water supply stoppages reported by owner-occupied units versus renter-occupied units 1.

Total no. of times owner-occupied units had a water supply stoppage lasting 6 or more hours

547000 + 5012000 + 6110000 + 2544000 + 557000 = 14770000

x = no. of times owner-occupied units had a water supply stoppage.

<h3>What is the probability at x =0?</h3>

P(x=0) = 547000/14770000

P(x=0) = 0.0370

Similarly, we have at x=1

P(x=1) = 5012000/14770000

P(x=1) = 0.3393

P(x=2) = 6110000/14770000

P(x=2) = 0.4137

P(x=3) = 2544000/14770000

P(x=3) = 0.1722

P(x=4) = 557000/14770000

P(x=4) = 0.0378

x           f(x)

0             0.0370

1              0.3393

2         0.4137

3              0.1722

4         0.0378

Total     1
