She will use 42 purple beads.
Explanation
We will use a proportion to solve this.
The ratio of blue to purple beads is 4:3, or 4/3.
We know she uses 56 blue beads and an unknown amount, x, of purple beads. This gives us 56/x.
Together, we have
4/3 = 56/x
Cross multiply:
4*x = 3*56
4x = 168
Divide both sides by 4:
4x/4 = 168/4
x = 42
Answer:
the total pay for the month for appliance salesperson = $6680.25
Step-by-step explanation:
salesperson receives a monthly salary of $2,250
commission of 4.5% on all sales compute
total pay for a month and when she sold $98,450 worth of appliances
total pay = $2,250 + 4.5% of $98,450
= $2,250 + $4430.25 = $6680.25
Following the principle of supplements angles, the angle next to the 101 is 79°. 79+38+c(call the third angle c) = 180
c = 180-117 =63° x is supplemental to c so 180 = x +c
180=x + 63
x =117
First, let's write two expressions, letting x= the number of months which have elapsed:
Bill: 120 + 10x
Phil: 150 + 4x
If we set them equal to each other, then solve for x, that will be the number of months where their weights equal each other:
120+10x = 150 + 4x [starting equation]
-120 -4x -120 -4x [ subtract 120 from both sides, and 4x from both sides, to isolate the term with the variable]
<u>6x</u> = <u>30</u> [divide both sides by 5]
5 5
x=6. They will weigh the same in six months.
