the total sales were $50,000, find the commission earned by the salesman.

He earns 5% of the first 10,000 therefore:

10,000 * 0.05 = $500

 

And another 3% for those beyond $10,000 (he is left with 50,000 – 10,000 = $40,000)

40,000 * 0.03 = $1,200

 

Therefore the total commission is:

<span>$500 + $1,200 = $1,700</span>

Determine if the expression - 8n ^ 2 * m ^ 4 + 9m ^ - 1 * n ^ 2 + 6n ^ 4 * is a polynomial or not. If it is a polynomial, state
vovangra [49]

Step-by-step explanation:

In mathematics, a polynomial is an expression consisting of indeterminates and coefficients, that involves only the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and non-negative integer exponentiation of variables.

since there is a term of m^-1 (a negative exponent) that we cannot combine with others (as it is not multiplied with another m-based term), it is NOT a polynomial.

ILL GIVE YOU BRAINLIEST IF ANSWERED RIGHT!!!! If the quadratic equation has the form y = ax ^2and y = ax ^2+ c, then their axis
Sliva [168]

Answer:

x = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

The axis of the symmetry has the same x coordinate of the vertex

V (x) = -b/2a

in both equations b is equal to 0 and a 0/a number different from 0 gives always 0 as a result

PLEASE HELP? SERIOUSLY? :)
IRINA_888 [86]
2x + 5y = -8 . . . (1)
-133x - 4y = -8 . . . (2)

(1) * 4 => 8x + 20y = -32 . . . (3)
(2) * -5 => -665x + 20y = 32 . . . (4)

(3) - (4) => 673x = 0
x = 0
From (1), 2(0) + 5y = -8
5y = -8
y = -8/5

John runs a computer software store. Yesterday he counted 127 people who walked by his store, 58 of whom came into the store. Of
skelet666 [1.2K]
So probabilities are defined as "what we want to happen" divided by "all of the options".  127 is all the people who walked by.  25 is all of the people who did what we want.  So, 25/127 = .1969 or 19.69%.

Strangely, one could ponder this question in another way.  One could first get the probability that they walk in (58/127) and then multiply it by the probability that they buy something (25/58).  This turns out to give you the same answer.
