<span><u><em>Answer:</em></u>
Kevin made $800 in commissions last week.
<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>
Since we know that he only makes money in two ways, by base salary and commission, we know that added together they equal his whole pay.
<u>Therefore we can set up the following equation and solve for his commission amount. </u>
Total Pay = Base Pay + Commissions.
1125 = 325 + Commissions.
800 = Comissions. </span>

Answer:
1.55
Step-by-step explanation:
3750+900 = 4650
4650/3000 = 1.55
Let's call the two numbers
and
.
Given these variables, we can say:
, based on the first sentence in the problem.
Also, remember that the reciprocal of a number is simply 1 divided by the number. Thus, we can say that:

To solve, we can simply substitute
in for
in the second equation and solve.


- Get terms on the left side to a common denominator for easier addition


- Cross multiplication (
)


- Subtract
from both sides of the equation

- Factor left side of the equation

Now, notice that we have found two solutions, but the problem is only asking for one. This <em>likely </em>means that one of our solutions is extraneous. Let's take a look. Remember that the smaller positive number is equal to 14 less than the larger number. However,
,
Since
is not positive in this case,
is not a solution.
Thus,
is our only solution. In this case,
,
which means that the smaller number is 14 and the larger number is 28.
