Answer:

$9,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Option A:

In a week he will earn 720 since 18 × 40 = 720

Option B:

(x=the amount of weekly sales)

8x ÷ 100=720

8x=72,000

x= 72,000 ÷ 8

72,000 ÷ 8 = 9,000

The salesperson needs to make a weekly sales of $9,000 to earn the same amount with both options.

HELP ASAP! The number of entertainment websites in 1995 wass 54. By 2004 there were 793 entertainment website..
AleksandrR [38]
<h3>Answer: Choice A. 82 websites per year</h3>

=============================================================

How I got that answer:

We have gone from 54 websites to 793 websites. This is a change of 793-54 = 739 new websites. This is over a timespan of 2004-1995 = 9 years.

Since we have 739 new websites over the course of 9 years, this means the rate of change is 739/9 = 82.1111... where the '1's go on forever. Rounding to the nearest whole number gets us roughly 82 websites a year.

----------

You could use the slope formula to get the job done. This is because the slope represents the rise over run

slope = rise/run

The rise is how much the number of websites have gone up or down. The run is the amount of time that has passed by. So slope = rise/run = 739/9 = 82.111...

In a more written out way, the steps would be

slope = rise/run

slope = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

slope = (793 - 54)/(2004 - 1995)

slope = 739/9

slope = 82.111....
