Answer: 45 is 75 percent of 60
Step-by-step explanation:
The salesman earns $850 per automobile he sells.
Since x represents the amount of automobiles the salesman sells, we can apply the commission as a coefficient to this variable. Therefore, the total commission that the salesman earns can be represented by $850x.
The bonus cheque is only received if the salesman's commission income is <em>at least </em>$6,800. 'at least' means that the salesman can still receive the cheque if his commission is exactly $6,800. The sign that we can use for this situation is the greater than or equal to sign, ≥.
The inequality that shows the commission income needed for the cheque is $850x ≥ $6,800. However, this question asks for the number of automobiles the salesman must sell to get the cheque.
Divide both sides by $850, as that represents his sales from one commission:
x ≥ 8
The inequality x ≥ 8 represents the amount of automobiles the salesman will need to sell to get the bonus cheque.
Parentheses, Exponent, Multiply, Division, Addition, Subtraction is your order (aka PEMDAS). Multiply 9x10 which gives you 90, then add -2 (or subtract 2) and your answer is 88.
If the rule for this pattern is add 3, you would take term 1 which had 5 dots then add 3, that makes term 2 have 8 dots, than add 3 that means term 3 has 11 dots, term four would have 14, and each term after that would have 3 more
