Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = number of items Steve sells

Let y = salary earned

Create two equations:

Vacuum sales:  y = 500 + 100x

Encyclopedia sales: y = 300 + 200x

Equal the equations and solve for x to find the number of items Steve needs to sell for the two salaries to be the same:

500 + 100x = 300 + 200x

Subtract 300 from both sides:  200 + 100x = 200x

Subtract 100x from both sides: 200 = 100x

Divide both sides by 100:  2 = x

Therefore, Steve would have to sell 2 items for the two salaries to be the same.

Answer: 04 items (02 each)

Step-by-step explanation:
Steve's base salary is $500 and $300 respectively for selling vacuum cleaner and encyclopedia. Along with that his bonus is $100 and $200 respectively. If he sells 02 items each, his earnings would be as follows:
For 02 vacuum cleaner: 500+100+100
= $700
For 02 encyclopedia: 300+200+200
= $700

Anon25 [30]

Answer:

They either both have to be positive or negative.

Step-by-step explanation:

1 / 1 = 1

-1 / -1 = 1

This gets you positive, when both dividend and divisors are positive or negative.

-1 / 1 = -1

1 / -1 = -1

This gets you negative, when both dividend and divisors are different signs.

If x is fish, y is octopi, and z is crabs, then you would have to know the numbers.
Then your answer would be c. 30x+80y-15z.

I hope that helps. If you need any further help on this problem just ask.
