Let the price of the car be represented by = x

Commission rate of Octavio = 6 %

Commission earned on selling a car at $x = $900

So, equation becomes =

\frac{6}{100}*x=900

6x=90000

x=15000

Hence, the price of the car is $15000.

Jennifer bought 12 pens. Out of 12 pens, 7 are blue and the rest are red.
alexdok [17]

Answer:

The answer is 5:12

Step-by-step explanation:

It is 5:12 because We already know that 7 pens are blue. To find the number of red pens we must subtract 12 - 7 and get 5 as the number of red pens. Now knowing the no. of red pens and total number we can say the ratio of red pens to total no. is 5:12

Sebastian invested $7,100 in an account paying an interest rate of 8 1 4 \% compounded monthly. Eva invested $7,100 in an accoun
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

Given:

Sebastian :

Principal(invested)= $7,100

Rate of interest=  8.14% compounded monthly

Eva:

Principal(invested)= $7,100

Rate of interest= 8.12% compounded continuously

Step-by-step explanation:

After 5 years,

In Sebastian case:

Amount= Principal*(1+R/100)^{t}

Amount = 7100*(1+8.14/100)^{12*5}

Amount= 7100*1.0814^{60}

Amount=7100*109.4415

Amount= $777,034.43

In Eva case,

Amount= Principal*e^{Rt/100}

Amount = 7100*e^{0.0812*12*5\\}

Amount= 7100*130.5818

Amount= $927,130.92

Difference between their money=$927,130.92-777034.43

                                                 =$150,096.49

Eva has $150,096 more money than Sebastian.

4. Tom decided to join Platinum Gym because of its new equipment. At the grand opening, the manager announced that 124 people ha
JulsSmile [24]

Number of people who signed up on the opening = 124

Number of people for whom registration fee is waived off = 50

Registration fee =  $60

Monthly fee = $20

Part A: Money it will make from the grand opening memberships = ?

⇒ Money it will make from the grand opening memberships = Money made from registration fee + Money made from first month's fee

⇒ Money it will make from the grand opening memberships = (Number of people who were charged registration fee ×  Registration fee per person) + (Number of people who registered × Monthly fee per person)

⇒ Money it will make from the grand opening memberships = (124 - 50) × 60 + (124 × 20)

⇒ Money it will make from the grand opening memberships = (74 × 60) + (124 × 20)

⇒ Money it will make from the grand opening memberships = (4,440) + (2,480)

⇒ Money it will make from the grand opening memberships = $6,920

Part B: Money made in 6 months, from the original 124 people who joined at the grand opening = ?

⇒ Money made in 6 months = Money made from registration fee + Money made from 6-months monthly fee

⇒ Money made in 6 months = (Number of people who were charged registration fee ×  Registration fee per person) + (Number of people who registered × Monthly fee per person × 6)

⇒ Money it will make from the grand opening memberships = (124 - 50) × 60 + (124 × 20 × 6)

⇒ Money it will make from the grand opening memberships = (74 × 60) + (124 × 20 × 6)

⇒ Money it will make from the grand opening memberships = 4,440 + 14,880

⇒ Money it will make from the grand opening memberships = $19,320

Hence, by the end of 6 months, the gym would have made $19,320
