Three salesmen work for the same company, selling the same product. And, although they are all paid on a weekly basis, each sale

sman earns his paycheck differently. Salesman A works strictly on commission. He earns $65 per sale, with a maximum weekly commission of $1,300. Salesman B earns a weekly base salary of $300, plus a commission of $40 per sale. There are no limits on the amount of commission he can earn. Salesman C does not earn any commission. His weekly salary is $900.
If Salesman A has exactly
sales, he will reach his maximum weekly commission.

Answer:

20

Step-by-step explanation:

If salesman A works solely on commision and makes $65/sale with a limit of $1,300, you need to divide 1,300 by 65.

Therefore, your answer is 20.

If we take the paycheck amount of $1020 and subtract it by the weekly salary of $300.

$1020 - $300 = $720

We get $720 in sale commissions. So to get the number of sales, you divide the $720 by the $40 per sale commission.

$720/$40 = 18

Therefore, the sales Salesman B has for the week is 18.

A members-only speaker series allows people to join for $28 and then pay $4 for every event attended. What is the total cost for
wariber [46]

Given:

Joining fee = $28

Fee of each event = $4

To find:

Total cost for someone to attend 4 events.

Solution:

Let the number of events be x and total fee be y.

Fee for 1 event = $4

Fee for x events = $4x

Joining fee remains constant. So, the total fee is

y=28+4x

Substitute x=4 in this equation.

y=28+4(4)

y=28+16

y=44

Therefore, total cost of 4 events is $44.

The difference of two numbers is 33. The sum of the first number and four times the second number is -2. What is the larger of t
defon

Answer:

The larger of the two is 44.67

Step-by-step explanation:

let the first number=x

let the second number=y

We can derive a system of equations using the mathematical statements

Their sum is 33:

x+y=33( call this equation 1)

Sum of first number and four times the second is -2:

x+4y=-2(call this equation 2)

Since the integer coefficients of x in both equations are the same we can quickly subtract one from the other to eliminate it

For this explanation, I choose to subtract equation 1 from 2

(x+4y=-2)-(x+y=33)=3y=-35

y=-35/3

Now plug in the value of y into any equation for that of x. Say we plug into equation 1

x+(-35/3)=33

x-35/3=33( multiply through by 3)

3x-35=99

3x=99+35

3x=134

x=134/3

Therefore,x=134/3 or 44.67 and y=-35/3 or -11.67
