Answer:

approximately 27 grams

Work Shown:

Half life formula

y = A*(0.5)^(x/H)

where,

A = starting amount = 30 grams

H = half life period = 90 years

x = number of years that pass by = 12

y = amount left over after x years

Let's plug the values for x, A and H into the formula to find y

y = A*(0.5)^(x/H)

y = 30*(0.5)^(12/90)

y = 27.3516746567466

y = 27 .... rounding to the nearest whole number

Answer: d.3,500 + 0.06x > 4,000 + 0.04x

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to write each inequality:

Jose earns a monthly salary of $3,500 plus a 6% commission on his sales, x.

So, his monthly earnings must be equal to the sum of the fixed monthly salary ($3500) plus the product of the number of sales (x) and the commission percentage in decimal form (divided by 100):

So:

Jose’s earnings: 3,500 + x (6/100)

Jose’s earnings: 3,500 + 0.06x

Maris earns a monthly salary of $4,000 plus a 4% commission on her sales.

So, her monthly earnings must be equal to the sum of the fixed monthly salary ($4000) plus the product of the number of sales (x) and the commission percentage in decimal form (divided by 100):

Maris’ earnings: 4000+ x (4/100)

Maris’ earnings: 4000+ 0.04 x

Since Jose's earnings must be greater than Maris' earnings

3,500 + 0.06x >4000+ 0.04 x
