Marcus can choose between a monthly salary of $1,500 plus 5.5% of sales or $2,400 plus 3% of sales. He expects sales to be $7,500 a month. Which salary option should he choose? Explain.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Salary option #2($2400+3.3%)

Step-by-step explanation:

Salary option #1=1500+(5.5% of 7500)

=$1912.50

Salary option #2=2400+(3% of 7500)

=$2625

Answer 2

Answer:

Using the mean sales value $2400 basic + 3% commision is the better deal

Step-by-step explanation:

As the sales figures are not fixed to a single value lets use the mean (average) value:

In statistics the notation use for this is as follows:

Let the sales value be  

x

Then the mean sales value is:  

7500

The ratio of athletes in the two teams is 3:2. After 12 athletes move from first team to second, the ratio is 5:4. Find the number of athletes on each team originally.

Answers

Answers:

team one = 162team two = 108

=========================================================

Explanation:

The ratio 3:2 scales up to 3x:2x for some positive whole number x.

This tells us that the first team has 3x people and the second team has 2x people. We'll subtract 12 from the first team and add 12 to the second team to represent 12 people moving.

3x becomes 3x-122x becomes 2x+12

The new team counts 3x-12 and 2x+12 represent team 1 and team 2. Those expressions are in the new proportion 5:4.

This means....

(team 1 new count)/(team 2 new count) = 5/4

(3x-12)/(2x+12) = 5/4

4(3x-12) = 5(2x+12)

12x-48 = 10x+60

12x-10x = 60+48

2x = 108

x = 108/2

x = 54

From this, we then can say:

team 1 original count = 3x = 3*54 = 162team 2 original count = 2x = 2*54 = 108

The two subtotals add to 162+108 = 270 players overall.

If we were to subtract 12 from team 1, and add 12 to team 2, then,

team 1 new count = 162-12 = 150team 2 new count = 108+12 = 120

The ratio 150:120 then reduces to 5:4 when we divide both parts by the GCF 30. This helps confirm we have the correct answer.

Answer:

162 athletes108 athletes

Step-by-step explanation:

Each ratio can be expressed using two numbers that have the same sum. The sum in the first given ratio is 3+2 = 5, and in the second ratio, it is 5+4 = 9. The least common multiple of 5 and 9 is 45, so we can express both ratios so they have a sum of 45:

  3 : 2 = 3(9) : 2(9) = 27 : 18

  5 : 4 = 5(4) : 4(5) = 25 : 20

Here, we observe that the second ratio has numbers that look like 2 was moved from the numerator to the denominator. (27 -2 = 25; 18 +2 = 20) The problem statement tells us 12 athletes were moved, so multiplying the first ratio by 12/2 = 6 will tell us the numbers of players on each original team:

  first team = 27×6 = 162 athletes

  second team = 18×6 = 108 athletes

Courtney has $21.50 to buy a gift for her brother. She found a stuffed animal that costs $19.65. With 10.1% sales tax added on, what is the sales tax? What is the total cost of the stuffed animal with tax included? Will Courtney have enough money to buy the gift?

The sales tax is: $_________

The total cost is: $_________

Is it enough money?

Answers

Answer:

Sales tax: 1.98465 which in this case is $1.98 (take note that you can round and it would be $2)

The total cost: $21.63 so no, Courtney cant buy the stuffed animal :(

Step-by-step explanation:

You can find the sales tax by dividing 10.1 by 100 to get 1.984...then rounding that number to get $1.98 since we are working with money in this problem then we have to find the total cost by adding our sales tax ($1.98) to our original cost ($19.65) to get our FINAL answer of $21.63

1. y = 1/2x + 2

2. y = 1/2x + 1

3. y = x + 2

4. y = 2x + 1

Answers

Answer:

It's the 4th one

Step-by-step explanation:

.................................

The answer would be 1. This is because if you do this equation for every row in the table it would always equal y. 1/2x (x divided by 2) would always equal 2 less than y. There is no unit rate in this problem because it is not proportional.

Question about finding intercepts from a table. Hope someone can answer!

Answers

Basically you have to use the table to find the equation of the line, then plug in a point into x and y and the b you will get is your y-intercept.

Now if you are familiar with the equation of a line in slope intercept form, it will look like this: y=mx+b. Here the ‘m’ is the slope and the ‘b’ is your y-intercept. What you need to do is use any two points given from the table and find the slope. To do that follow the steps below:

1. Pick two points. Let’s take the first two.
(-28, -54) And (-21, -40)

2. Subtract the two y values, -40 - (-54) = 14
3. Subtract the two x values, -21 - (-28) = 7
4. Now take your answer from step 2 and divide it by your answer in step 3. This will be 14/7, which will be 2.

Your answer from step 4 is your slope, or ‘m’.
(That series of steps was basically change in y over change in x, you can look that up if you are still confused)

Now that you know m, your incomplete equation will be this:
y=2x+b.

Next you will pick any point from the table again, and replace it with x and y in the equation. Let’s pick the second point, (-21,-40)

Plug this in: -40 = 2(-21) + b
Solve for b and you will get your answer.
-40 = -42 + b
b=2
Your answer is 2, that is the y intercept.
(The full equation of the line from that table would be y=2x+2)
