(3/5)(2/5)=6/25

The salesman earns $850 per automobile he sells.
Since x represents the amount of automobiles the salesman sells, we can apply the commission as a coefficient to this variable. Therefore, the total commission that the salesman earns can be represented by $850x.
The bonus cheque is only received if the salesman's commission income is <em>at least </em>$6,800. 'at least' means that the salesman can still receive the cheque if his commission is exactly $6,800. The sign that we can use for this situation is the greater than or equal to sign, ≥.
The inequality that shows the commission income needed for the cheque is $850x ≥ $6,800. However, this question asks for the number of automobiles the salesman must sell to get the cheque.
Divide both sides by $850, as that represents his sales from one commission:
x ≥ 8
The inequality x ≥ 8 represents the amount of automobiles the salesman will need to sell to get the bonus cheque.
It appears that you have here a list of the # of minutes spent each day on HW, and that y ou need to sum up this list to answer the question. Unfortunately I cannot read the last numeral.
The answer (assuming that my guess is correct) would be found as follows:
Total hours spent on HW in one week = (18+20+22+11+19+18+ ?? )
Pairs, in this case, relates to a group of 2 or more. We have 6 friends. Let's call them A,B,C,D,E,F. This will allow us to make a [some sort of] combination tree:
1. ABC against DEF
2. ABD against CEF
3. ABE against CDF
4. ABF against CDE
5. ACD against BFE
6. ACE against BDF
7. ACF against BDE
8. ADE against BCF
9. ADF against BCE
10. AEF against BCD
I believe there are 12 combinations... I just can't think of the last 2 though.
The answer to this question is squaring of areas
