The expression can be written as the inequality:

300+0.05s≥500

300$ is made per week, so we start off with

300

He also makes 5% or 0.05 from his sales, so we add in the expression 0.05x (where s is equal to his sales volume for the week)

300+0.05s

If he wants to make at least 500$ weekly, then the total of the base salary plus the commission has to be 'greater than or equal to 500.

300+0.05s≥500

Lets solve for s now...

300+0.05s≥500
subtract 300 from both sides
0.05s≥200
Divide both sides by 0.05
s≥4000

$300 per week. 0.05%=5%
First, we have 300+0.05s≥500

300+0.05s≥500

300 0.05s-300 ≥500-300
0.05s<span>≥200</span>
Divide each side by 0.05
s≥4000

If y varies directly as x and y = 36 when x=9 find the value of y when x=3
Temka [501]
I think the answer is 12

because
y=36, x=9
y=?, x=3
so you divide 36 by 3 to get the other y

 Hope this helps

Answer:

x= 3 and x= -3

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 -9 = 0

Factor x^2-9

(x+3)(x-3)

If x+3=0, then x= -3

If x-3=0, then x= 3

an = a1 +d(n-1)

a4 =a1+d(4-1)

-4 = -1+d(3)

add 1 to each side

-3 = 3d

d= -1

an = a1 +d(n-1)

an = -1 +-1 (n-1)

an = -1 -n +1

an = -n
