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>

A railroad track rises 30 feet for every 400 feet of track. What is the measure of the angle of elevation of the track?
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Rising 30 feet for every 400 feet of track is not a very large angle of elevation.  We set this up as a right triangle to use right triangle trig to solve for the missing angle.  The height is 30 and the hypotenuse is 400.  The height is the side opposite the angle in question, and the hypotenuse is the hypotenuse! This is the sin ratio.  Setting up the ratio using our info:

sin\theta=\frac{30}{400}

When you are looking for a missing angle measure, as we are here, use the 2nd-->sin buttons to find the inverse of sin, which looks like this:

sin^{-1}(

Enter in the fraction 30/400 after the parenthesis and then hit enter to get the angle measure of 4.3 degrees.

Juli2301 [7.4K]

B. 1 can will paint 3 walls — true

C. 5/3 cans will paint 5 walls — true

D. 2 cans will paint 6 walls, not 8.

E. 5/2 cans will paint 15/2 = 7 1/2 walls, not 10.

F. 11/3 cans will paint 11 walls — true

Plz help me with these math questions
Akimi4 [234]
For b on the first paper you will start with the distribution property and multiply both x and 2 by 3 because they are in the ()
now you have 3x+ 6=x-18
from here you can subtract x from both sides
2x+6=-18
next subtract 6 from both sides
2x=-24
divide both sides by 2...
x=-12
