Answer:
x = 4.363636...
Step-by-step explanation:
Set up a ratio
6 miles : 55 minutes
x miles : 40 minutes
Cross Multiply
55x = 40*6
55x = 240
55x / 55 = 240 / 55
x = 4.363636...
The correct answer is A. Not only does $250 a week equal $1000 a month but the commission is also higher.
first job: $250wk = $1000 Month + .045 commission
= $12000 year + .045 commission
second job = $1800 Month + .03 commission
= $21600 year + .03 commission
commission based on sales of $1,000,000
1,000,000 times .045 = $45000
1,000,000 times .030 = $30000
FIRST JOB: $12,000 + $45,000 = $57,000
SECOND JOB: $21,600 + $30,000 = $51,600
The answer is definitely A.
X/3=2
x=6
x/5=3
x=15
x/7=2
x=14
Each time, you multiply both sides by the denominator.
Hope this helps :)
