Answer:
12x -y = -87
Step-by-step explanation:
You can start with the 2-point form of the equation of a line and manipulate it to give you the standard form.
y = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)(x -x1) +y1
y = (-9 -3)/(-8 -(-7))(x -(-7)) +3
y = (-12/-1)(x +7) +3
y = 12x +84 +3
-12x +y = 87 . . . . . subtract the x-term
12x -y = -87 . . . . . . make the leading coefficient positive (per standard form)
Answer:
37%
Step-by-step explanation:
If Ramona received an overall pay of $52,561 last year, $23,960 of which was base pay, we can first subtract these two numbers to find the amount she made from her sales commission:
$52,561 - $23,960 = $28,601
In order to find her percent commission, we can set up a proportion:
, where 'p' is her rate of commission
Cross-multiply and divide: 100(28601) = 77300x or 2,860,100 = 77,300x
Or x = 37%
