12x + 4 ➗ 4 + 20x + 5 ➗ 5
1. PEMDAS (order of operations) solve the division problems
(4 divided by 4 & 5 divided by 5)
12x + 1 + 20x + 1
2. Swap around the order of operations as commutative property states that you can swap the order of an addition problem and get the same answer.
12x + 20x + 1 + 1
3. Add like terms
32x + 2
This is the most simplified answer you could get as you can not add 32x and 2 as they are not like terms.
4.741
4.742
Really, you could stick any digit from 1-9 at the end of 4.74 to create your answer.
Answer:
<em>The salesperson's commission for this month is $3,803</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Percentages</u>
Let's call x to the sales volume, not including commission.
The salesperson is paid an 8.25% commission on sales, thus the total invoice is x + 8.25%x = x + 0.0825x = 1.0825x
We are given this total invoice, thus:
1.0825x = $49,900
Dividing by 1.0825:
x = $46,097
The salesperson's commission is
0.0825*$46,097=$3,803
The salesperson's commission for this month is $3,803
So you have 10 gallons of gas
You use 1.625 or 1.63 an hour
You can either do 10/1.625 = 6 hours and 15 mins
You can either do 10/1.63 = 6 hours and 13 mins
25.3%
you have to do 4.06-3.24
then do that number divided by the original number then times by 100
