As a salesperson for an electronic parts distributor, you are given two options for your salary structure. The first option has

a base salary of $300 a week plus 4% of all sales made. The second option has a base salary of $100 plus 7.5% commission on all sales. Find the sales amount that will result in the two options having the same weekly salary.

Answer:

The amount of sale is approximately 5714.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the sales made that will result to the same salary and let y be the same weekly salary.

We can represent both salaries as follows:

300 + 0.04x = y

100 + 0.075x = y

Subtracting the second equation from the first, we have:

200 – 0.035x = 0

0.035x= 200

x = 200/0.035

x ≈ 5714.

Therefore, the amount of sale is approximately 5714.

What THREE integers have a sum of 300?
quester [9]

Answer:

Here we will use algebra to find three consecutive integers whose sum is 300. We start by assigning X to the first integer. Since they are consecutive, it means that the 2nd number will be X + 1 and the 3rd number will be X + 2 and they should all add up to 300. Therefore, you can write the equation as follows:

(X) + (X + 1) + (X + 2) = 300

To solve for X, you first add the integers together and the X variables together. Then you subtract three from each side, followed by dividing by 3 on each side. Here is the work to show our math:

X + X + 1 + X + 2 = 300

3X + 3 = 300

3X + 3 - 3 = 300 - 3

3X = 297

3X/3 = 297/3

X = 99

Which means that the first number is 99, the second number is 99 + 1 and the third number is 99 + 2. Therefore, three consecutive integers that add up to 300 are 99, 100, and 101.

99 + 100 + 101 = 300

We know our answer is correct because 99 + 100 + 101 equals 300 as displayed above.

If θ=0rad at t=0s, what is the blade's angular position at t=20s
babunello [35]
The attached figure represents the relation between ω (rpm) and t (seconds)
To find the blade's angular position in radians ⇒ ω will be converted from (rpm) to (rad/s)
              ω = 250 (rpm) = 250 * (2π/60) = (25/3)π    rad/s
              ω = 100 (rpm) = 100 * (2π/60) = (10/3)π    rad/s

and from the figure it is clear that the operation is at constant speed but with variable levels
            ⇒   ω = dθ/dt   ⇒   dθ = ω dt

            ∴    θ = ∫₀²⁰  ω dt  
 
while ω is not fixed from (t = 0) to (t =20)
the integral will divided to 3 integrals as follow;
       ω = 0                                          from t = 0  to t = 5
       ω = 250 (rpm) = (25/3)π            from t = 5   to t = 15
       ω = 100 (rpm) = (10/3)π            from t = 15 to t = 20

∴ θ = ∫₀⁵  (0) dt   + ∫₅¹⁵  (25/3)π dt + ∫₁₅²⁰  (10/3)π dt
     
the first integral = 0
the second integral = (25/3)π t = (25/3)π (15-5) = (250/3)π
the third integral = (10/3)π t = (25/3)π (20-15) = (50/3)π

∴ θ = 0 + (250/3)π + (50/3)π = 100 π

while the complete revolution = 2π
so instantaneously at t = 20
∴ θ = 100 π - 50 * 2 π = 0 rad

Which mean:
the blade will be at zero position making no of revolution = (100π)/(2π) = 50
