23x40= 920
55% of 920=506
So we know she needs to make over double of 506 to make 920$ commission, so
1675x0.55=921.25 $ in commission. So she would have to sell 1675$ to make roughly the same
I hope that’s right.
Answer:
7
Step-by-step explanation:
7²/x²-2 when x=3
49/3²-2
49/9-2
49/7
answer=7
Answer:
y=-7
Step-by-step explanation:
This is an expression, not an equation. y is -7 for any value of x, so f drops out of the equation and it beomes an expression.
x = number of 1-cent stamps
y = number of 8-cent stamps
z = number of 12-cent stamps
We have 31 stamps all together, so x+y+z = 31.
"I have 4 more 1-cent stamps than 8-cent stamps" means we have the equation x = y+8. Whatever y is, add 8 to it to get x. Solve for y to get y = x-8.
You also have "twice as many one cent stamps as 12 cent stamps", so x = 2z. Solving for z gets you z = 0.5x
-------------
x+y+z = 31
x+x-8+z = 31 ... y replaced with x-8
x+x-8+0.5x = 31 ... plug in z = 0.5x
2.5x-8 = 31
2.5x = 31+8
2.5x = 39
x = 39/2.5
x = 15.6
Your teacher made a typo somewhere because we should get a positive whole number result for x (since x is a count of how many 1-cent stamps we have).
