The commission is 5% on everything she sells
If she sold $1650.00
First you have to find her commission
100%=1650
5%=x
100•x=1650•5
100•x=8250
—— ———
100 100
x=82.5(this is her commission)
Now you have to add $82.5 to total she earns in the week.
$400.00+ $82.5 = $482.5
The Vanessa’s total pay last week was $482.5
The slope is : -5/2
The equation is : y=-5/2x + 5
Example:
378 • 123= x
Start- 378. Then 378. 378. 378
With- •123 ->do. •100 ->•020 -> •003
Then add the answers of the three problems. 37800+ 7560+1134
Which then you will have the answer.
Oldest = 2 times Youngest -> O = 2*Y
Middle = Youngest + 5 -> M = Y+5
All of them together is 57 -> O + M + Y = 57
So you have these three equations:
(1) O = 2*Y
(2) M = Y+5
(3) O + M + Y = 57
Now you want to reduce the number of variables. You can change the second equation to be Y = M-5 and then plug in "M-5" wherever there is currently a Y:
(4) O = 2*(M-5) = 2*M - 10
(5) O + M + (M-5) = 57
which becomes O + 2M = 62
Then you plug in the "O" equation (4) into (5) which gives you
(2M-10) + 2M = 62 which reduces to 4M = 72.
So now I know M is 18.
I can now plug that into my other equations:
(4) O = 2*18 - 10 which means O = 26.
Now I plug that into (1) from the top:
26 = 2*Y which becomes 13 = Y
So now I have O, Y, and M
Oldest is 26
Middle is 18
Youngest is 13
Reading the sentence again, you can see that this makes sense.
