Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
First we must construct an equation to model the problem. (In this case we will use an inequality instead) This is what I came up with:
450.20+0.15s>=600.10
This equation shows how if her base earnings ($450.20) are added to 15% of her sales, represented by s, then the total will be greater than or equal to $600.10
Next, we simply solve for s. (steps shown below)
1) 450.20+0.15s>=600.10 (simply restating the inequality)
2) 0.15s>=149.90 (here I isolated the variable)
3)0.15s/0.15>=149.90/0.15 (Finally I solve for s by dividing both sides by 0.15, this will isolate s on the left and leave the answer on the right)
4) s>=999.33... (here I found the total sales the salesperson would need to reach his/her goal of earning a minimum of $600.10; the 3's after the decimal are repeating so in the next step I will round up to the nearest hundredth (b/c this is what money is rounded to and if I round down he/she would make less than her goal. This means i must round up.))
5) s>=999.34 (simple rounding; once again I rounded up b/c rounding down would slightly bring the total earnings to less than the goal)
<u>Therefore, the salesperson would need his/her sales to be $999.34 in order for his/her total earnings for the week to be at least $600.10</u> (greater than or equal to $600.10)
<u>Hope this helped!</u>
M^2 + n^2

Answer is 34
Answer:
(8, -22)
Step-by-step explanation:
The tables each contain four (x,y) points of a straight line. You can see that for every increase of x by 2, y decreases by 8 in the first one (observe 26, 18, 10 2), and decreases by 6 in the second.
If you continue the table with x=4, 6 and 8, you get y=-22 in both cases for x=8. That is the intersection, so the solution is (8,-22).
Added a graph. The equations are y=10-4x and y=2-3x respectively. Hope you understand a bit of this (brief) explanation.
Answer:
I don't believe this is a mathematics related question....
Step-by-step explanation:
Don't have someone write this for you though, this sounds like a fun assignment. If you need help with the terms
Central plot = what is happening. Is a king trying to fight off a dragon? A penguin trying to learn to hunt?
Conflict = what goes wrong to make the goal harder.
Conclusion = How it ends.
Characters = People or creatures in the story.
Dialogue = What people are saying.
Setting = When and where the story takes place.
