John the car salesman makes a commission on selling cars, as a percentage of the price, which

Bess [88]

Answer:

John's commission percentage on new cars is x and his commission percentage on used cars is 1.5x, therefore, John's commission percentage on new cars is 2% and his commission percentage on used cars is 3%.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information provided to us to answer the question correctly:

John's commission percentage on new cars = x

John's commission percentage on used cars = x + 50%x (His commission on used cars is 50% more than on new cars)

Sales on new cars = $80,000

Sales on used cars = $50,000

John's commission check = $3,100

2. If x represents the commission percentage on new cars, express the commission percentage on used cars in terms of x.

John's commission percentage on new cars = x

John's commission percentage on used cars = x + 50%x = 1.5x

Now we can solve for x, this way:

80,000x + 50,000 * 1.5x = 3,100

80,000x + 75,000x = 3,100

155,000x = 3,100

x = 3,100/155,000

x = 0.02 = 2% ⇒ 1.5x = 3%

John's commission percentage on new cars is 2% and his commission percentage on used cars is 3%

A roulette wheel has the numbers 1 through 36, 0, and 00. A bet on five numbers pays 6 to 1 (that is, if one of the five numbers

tatiyna

Answer:

5 cents

Step-by-step explanation:

So the roulette wheel would have a total of 38 numbers, which means 38 different possible cases. Since you are allowed to bet on 5 numbers, the chance to win this is 5 out of 38 and to lose this is 33 out of 38.

If you win, you get 1 + 6 = 7 dollar, and if you lose, you lose 1 dollar.

Therefore the expected amount out of this game is:

$E = 7\frac{5}{38} - 1\frac{33}{38} = \frac{35}{38} - \frac{33}{38} = \frac{2}{38} = \frac{1}{19} = \$0.0526$

or 5 cents
