If the US could make 14 stereos/hr or 7 cars/hr, this is a ratio of 2 stereos/1 car, or 1 stereo/0.5 cars. Therefore the US opportunity cost of producing 1 stereo is 0.5 car of half a car.
If China (or Japan? given the question in #2) makes 15 stereos/hr or 5 cars/hr, this is a ratio of 3 stereos/1 car, or 1 stereo/0.33 cars.

Mayra's monthly salary is $4,540 plus she earns an 8% commission on her sales each month. Mayra's sales for January were $30,000

lesantik [10]

Work out 8% of 30000

10% of 30000 is 3000

1% of 30000 is 300
2% of 30000 is 300x2=600

Therefore 10%-2%= 3000-600=2400

It therefore follows that Mayra earned 4540 + 2400 = 6940 for January

Tanα=y/x

y=xtanα, we are told that x=25ft and α=30°

y=25tan30° ft

y≈14.43 ft (to nearest hundredth of a foot)

Since their home is 20 feet from the base of the tree, it poses no risk right now.
