First we must construct an equation to model the problem. (In this case we will use an inequality instead) This is what I came up with:
450.20+0.15s>=600.10
This equation shows how if her base earnings ($450.20) are added to 15% of her sales, represented by s, then the total will be greater than or equal to $600.10
Next, we simply solve for s. (steps shown below)
1) 450.20+0.15s>=600.10 (simply restating the inequality)
2) 0.15s>=149.90 (here I isolated the variable)
3)0.15s/0.15>=149.90/0.15 (Finally I solve for s by dividing both sides by 0.15, this will isolate s on the left and leave the answer on the right)
4) s>=999.33... (here I found the total sales the salesperson would need to reach his/her goal of earning a minimum of $600.10; the 3's after the decimal are repeating so in the next step I will round up to the nearest hundredth (b/c this is what money is rounded to and if I round down he/she would make less than her goal. This means i must round up.))
5) s>=999.34 (simple rounding; once again I rounded up b/c rounding down would slightly bring the total earnings to less than the goal)
<u>Therefore, the salesperson would need his/her sales to be $999.34 in order for his/her total earnings for the week to be at least $600.10</u> (greater than or equal to $600.10)
<u>Hope this helped!</u>
42 divided by 6 is 7. if you subtract 4 from 7 the answer would be 3
<span> A. x²+2 - a polynomial
B.(x⁸-2)/(x⁻²+3) rational function
C. 7x⁷-2x⁻⁴+3 (It has negative value of exponent, so it cannot be a polynomial.)
D.x^x-1 (x is an exponent it cannot be a polynomial)</span>
Independent events mean that one event happening does not have to have the other event to happen.
The probability of both events happening is the product of the events.
The answer would be:
E. P(A ∩ B) = P(A) x P(B)
