Answer:
It will take 5 minutes to make one balloon structure. 7 balloons are used in 1 sculpture For part b the answer would be: Tom's unit rate for balloons used per minute would be 1.4
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to separate his total earnings out into the different categories:
Category 1 (2%): 30,000
Category 2 (3%): 60,000-30,000 = 30,000
Category 3 (5%): 92,000-60,000 = 32,000
To calculate a percentage we multiply by that percentage divided by 100.
Now we can work out the commissions:
1) 30,000*0.02 = $600
2) 30,000*0.03 = $900
3) 32,000*0.05 = $1600
Adding these together, we get $3100
Since the slope is rise/run, 1/6 goes up one, right 6. Perpendicular is opposite that. so a slope of -6 goes down 6 and right 1. (as a fraction it's -6/1)
