$340
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Jim is paid 17% for every ad he sells.
He sold an ad today for $2000
Now we have to find the commission.
The commission rate is 17%
If he sells $100, then he gets $17 as commission.
To find the commission on sale ad of $2000, we have to multiply 2000 by 17%
17% of 2000

We can simplify 2000 by 100, we get
= 17*20
Commission = $340
He gets $340 as commission for the ad sale of $2000.
Answer:
x = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
The outer and inner triangles are similar, thus the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is
=
, that is
=
( cross- multiply )
12(x - 3) = 8x
12x - 36 = 8x ( subtract 8x from both sides )
4x - 36 = 0 ( add 36 to both sides )
4x = 36 ( divide both sides by 4 )
x = 9
