$1 \% = \frac{1}{100}\\ \\2 \% = 2 \cdot \frac{1}{100 }=\frac{1}{50} \\ \\ 300 \$ \cdot 2 \% = 300 \cdot \frac{1}{50 }= \frac{300}{50}=6 \% \\ \\ Answer : \ salesperson \ earns \ \$ \ 6$

When 5 times a number is added to 45 the answer is the sm of 85 and 140 what is the number

zimovet [89]

Hello.

First, let the number be r.

5 times r is written like this:

$\rm{5r}$

Now, add 45:

$\mathrm{5r+45}$

Now, the sum of 5r+45 is equal to the sum of 85 and 140:

$\mathrm{5r+45=85+140}$

In order to solve this equation, we need to add 85 and 140:

$\mathrm{5r+45=225}$

Now, subtract 45 from both sides:

$\mathrm{5r+45-45=225-45}$

$\mathrm{5r=225-45}$

$\mathrm{5r=180}$

The last step is to divide both sides by 5:

$\mathrm{r=36}$

Therefore, the answer is

$\rm{r=36}$

I hope it helps.

Have a nice day.

Slope Formula: $m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Find points from chart.

Point (2, 0)

Point (3, 0)

Step 2: Find slope m

Simply plug in the 2 coordinates into the slope formula to find slope m. Rate of change and slope are identical.

Substitute [SF]: $m=\frac{0-0}{3-2}$
Subtract: $m=\frac{0}{1}$
Divide: $m=0$

PLSS HELP IF YOU TURLY KNOW THISS

yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

x = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

(0.3x - 2.1)/3 = 0.4

0.3x - 2.1 = 0.4 * 3

0.3x - 2.1 = 1.2

0.3x = 1.2 + 2.1

0.3x = 3.3

x = 3.3/0.3

x = 11

Help i need the answer by 10am December 23

Answer:

Simon: 55 hours

Alvin: 70 hours

Theodore: 159 hours

Total: 284 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A, T, and S stand for the hours worked by Alvin, Simon, and Theodore.

We are told that:

A = S + 15,

T = 3S - 6

and

A + S + T = 284

Note that the first two equations state the value of A and T in terms of S. Let's use them in the third equation, so that we'll have only one unknow:

A + S + T = 284

(S + 15) + S + (3S - 6) = 284

5S + 9 = 284

S = 55

Now use this value of S in the first two equations to find A and T:

A = S + 15

A = 55 + 15

A = 70

T = 3S - 6

T = 3*55 - 6

T = 159

(55 + 70 + 159) = 284
