Answer:

j(s) = 0.05s -500

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Base\ Salary = 2000

Commission = 5\% on Sales over 50000

Required

Determine the function j(s) for sales over 50000

Represent the total sales in a month with s.

Sales over 50000 in that month will be: s - 50000

So, the function j(s) is:

j(s) = Base Amount + Commission * Sales over 50000

j(s) = 2000 + 5\% * (s - 50000)

Convert % to decimal

j(s) = 2000 + 0.05 * (s - 50000)

Open bracket

j(s) = 2000 + 0.05 * s - 0.05 * 50000

j(s) = 2000 + 0.05s - 2500

Collect Like Terms

j(s) = 0.05s - 2500 + 2000

j(s) = 0.05s -500

Ava estimates that 475 songs will fit on her iPad. The actual amount of songs that fit is 350. Find her percent of error.
alukav5142 [94]

Given:

Ava estimates that 475 songs will fit on her iPad.

The actual amount of songs that fit is 350.

To find:

The percent of error.

Solution:

We know that,

\text{Percent error}=\dfrac{\text{Estimated values - Actual value}}{\text{Actual value}}\times 100

Putting the given values, we get

\text{Percent error}=\dfrac{475-350}{350}\times 100

\text{Percent error}=\dfrac{125}{350}\times 100

\text{Percent error}=\dfrac{250}{7}

\text{Percent error}\approx 35.71\%

Therefore, the percent of error is 35.71%.

Judah's family wants to ride the bumper boats at a water park. There are 4 children (c) and 2 adults 9 (a) in Judah's family. Th
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

Yes, the boats are safe to ride.

Step-by-step explanation:

40 (4) + 12 (2) ≤ 500

160 + 24 ≤ 500

184  ≤ 500

184 is less than 500.

because I was not sure if you had 9 adults instead of 2, this is the answer:

40 (4) + 12 (9) ≤ 500

160 + 108 ≤ 500

268 ≤ 500

268 is less than 500

HURRY !!
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

B. In step 2, marquis should have interpreted the results as x _< - 9.2, which means that x is less than or equal to -9.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 is correct.

Step 2.

-9.2 >= x

Subtract x from both sides.

-x - 9.2 >= 0

Add 9.2 to both sides.

-x >= 9.2

Divide both sides by -1. When you multiply or divide both sides of an inequality, the inequality sign changes direction.

x <= -9.2

The first error is in Step 2.

Answer:

B. In step 2, marquis should have interpreted the results as x _< - 9.2, which means that x is less than or equal to -9.2

40% of students on a field trip love the museum. If there are 20 students on the field trip, how many love the museum??
MariettaO [177]
Since there are 20 students on the field trip. Then 20 is the 100% total. Thus, to find how many people love the museum, we can simply multiply the total number of people by the percentage of interest, namely 40%

20*0.4 = 8
So, 8 people love the museum.
