Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the money made in sales. Let y be the money made in commissions.

First, convert 2.5% to a decimal.

2.5% = 0.025

Equation:

0.025x = y

Robert:

0.025(8850) = y

y = $221.25

Francisca:

0.025x = 279

x = 279/0.025

x = $11,160

Learning goal: to understand the rules for computing dot products. let vectors a=(2,1,−4), b=(−3,0,1), and c=(−1,−1,2). part a -

miv72 [106K]

For this case we have the following vectors:
$a = (2,1, -4)

b = (- 3,0,1)

c = (- 1, -1,2)$
The dot product of two vectors is a scalar.
The point product consists of multiplying component by component and then adding the result of the multiplication of each component.
For the product point of the vectors a and b we have:
$a.b = (2,1, -4). (- 3,0,1)

a.b = (2) (- 3) + (1) (0) + (-4) (1)

a.b = - 6 + 0 - 4

a.b = - 10$
Answer:
The product point of the vectors a and b is:
$a.b = - 10$

Mai's water bottle had 24 ounces in it. After she drank x ounces of water, there were 10 ounces left.

nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

24 - X = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Mai's water bottle had 24 ounces in it. After she drank x ounces of water, there were 10 ounces left, in order to determine the equation that represents this situation, the following reasoning has to be made:

Since the bottle has 24 ounces of liquid, that is its initial content, from which an amount X is subtracted, after which 10 ounces of water remain. That is, 24 - X = 10.

Thus, this equation is solved in the following way:

24 - X = 10

24 = 10 + X

24 - 10 = X

14 = X
