José and Maris work for different car dealerships. José earns a monthly salary of $3,500 plus a 8% commission on sales. Maris earns a monthly salary of $3,900 plus a 6% commission on sales. Above what value of sales are José's monthly earnings more than those of Maris?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: When sales are greater than 2000 then  José's monthly earnings sre more than those of Maris.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let  x= Total sales

For José, monthly salary = $3,500

Commission percentage =  8% =0.08

Monthly earnings= Monthly salary + (Commission percentage) x (Total sales)

Monthly earnings= 3500 +0.08 x

For Maris, monthly salary = $3,900

Commission percentage =  6%

Monthly earnings= 3900 +0.06 x

When José's monthly earnings > Maris's monthly earnings

then, 3500 +0.08 x > 3900 +0.06 x

Subtract 3500 from both sides, we get

0.08 x > 400+0.06x

Subtract 0.06x from both sides, we get

0.02x>400

Divide both sides b 0.02

x> 20000

When sales are greater than 2000 then  José's monthly earnings sre more than those of Maris.

select the two roots of (3x+7)(2x-5)=0

Answers

Answer:

A and B

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

(3x + 7)(2x - 5) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

3x + 7 = 0 ⇒ 3x = - 7 ⇒ x = - [tex]\frac{7}{3}[/tex] → A

2x - 5 = 0 ⇒ 2x = 5 ⇒ x = [tex]\frac{5}{2}[/tex] → B

The roots of the quadratic equation are x = -7/3 and x = 5/2.

The correct option is A and B.

What is a quadratic equation?

For variable x : ax² + bx + c = 0, where a≠0 is a standard quadratic equation, which is a second-order polynomial equation in a single variable. It has at least one solution since it is a second-order polynomial equation, which is guaranteed by the algebraic basic theorem.

Given:

A quadratic equation in the factored form,

(3x+7) (2x-5) = 0.

So, 3x + 7 = 0 or 2x - 5 = 0

x = -7/3 and x = 5/2

Therefore, the roots are x = -7/3 and x = 5/2

Polly stacked the tins from five boxes of cat food onto an empty shelf in a supermarket. There were 15 tins of cat food in each box. At the end of the week there were 20 tins left on the shelf. The rest of the tins had been sold. Write the number of boxes of cat food that had been sold, as: (a) A mixed number (b) An improper fraction

Answers

Answer:

(a) [tex]3\frac{2}{3}[/tex] boxes of cat food had been sold.

(b) [tex]\frac{11}{3}[/tex] boxes of cat food had been sold.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question,

Polly stacked the tins from five boxes of cat food onto an empty shelf and there were 15 tins of cat food in each box. That is,

5 × 15 tins of cat food were stacked onto the empty shelf.

5 × 15 = 75

Hence, 75 tins of cat food were stacked onto the empty shelf.

Also, from the question,

At the end of the week there were 20 tins left on the shelf and the rest of the tins had been sold, that is

75 - 20 tins had been sold

75 - 20 = 55

Hence, 55 tins of cat food had been sold.

To determine the number of boxes of cat food that had been sold,

Since there are 15 tins of cat food per box, then

we will divide 55 tins of cat food that had been sold by 15 tins of cat food per box

55 ÷ 15 = [tex]\frac{55}{15}[/tex]

Hence, [tex]\frac{55}{15}[/tex] boxes of cat food had been sold

(a) As a mixed number

[tex]\frac{55}{15} = 3\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

Hence, [tex]3\frac{2}{3}[/tex] boxes of cat food had been sold.

(b) As an improper fraction

[tex]\frac{55}{15} = \frac{11}{3}[/tex]

Hence, [tex]\frac{11}{3}[/tex] boxes of cat food had been sold.

Suppose that 90% of all dialysis patients will survive for at least 5 years. In a simple random sample of 100 new dialysis patients, what is the probability that the proportion surviving for at least five years will exceed 80%, rounded to 5 decimal places

Answers

Answer:

The  probability   [tex]P(\^ p > 0.80) = 0.99957[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The population proportion is  p  =  0.90

     The sample size is  n  =  30

  Generally mean of the sampling distribution is  [tex]\mu_{\= x } = p = 0.90[/tex]

Generally the standard deviation is mathematically represented as

      [tex]\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{p( -p )}{n} }[/tex]

=>    [tex]\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{0.90( 1 -0.90 )}{100} }[/tex]

=>    [tex]\sigma = 0.03[/tex]

Generally the he probability that the proportion surviving for at least five years will exceed 80%, rounded to 5 decimal places is mathematically represented as

       [tex]P(\^ p > 0.80) = P(\frac{ \^ p - p }{ \sigma } > \frac{0.80 - 0.90}{0.03} )[/tex]

Generally [tex]\frac{\^p - p}{\sigma} = Z(The standardized \ value \ of \^ p)[/tex]

So  

    [tex]P(\^ p > 0.80) = P(Z > -3.33 )[/tex]

From the z-table [tex]P(Z > -3.33 ) = 0.99957[/tex]

So

    [tex]P(\^ p > 0.80) = 0.99957[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

Scale 1: 35ft by 25ft

Scale 2: 56ft by 40ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Rectangle: 7cm by 5cm

Scale 1: 1cm = 5ft

Scale 2: 1cm = 8ft

Required

Determine the scale measurement

For Scale 1:

Actual Measurement

[tex]Length = 7cm[/tex]

[tex]Width = 5cm[/tex]

Scale 1: 1cm = 5ft

To calculate the scale measurement, we have to multiply the actual measurements by 5:

This gives:

[tex]Length = 7 * 5ft[/tex]

[tex]Length = 35ft[/tex]

[tex]Width = 5 * 5ft[/tex]

[tex]Width = 25ft[/tex]

So, the new measurement is 35ft by 25ft

For Scale 2:

Actual Measurement

[tex]Length = 7cm\\Width = 5cm[/tex]

Scale 2: 1cm = 8ft

To calculate the scale measurement, we have to multiply the actual measurements by 8:

Scale Measurement:

[tex]Length = 7 * 8ft[/tex]

[tex]Length = 56ft[/tex]

[tex]Width = 5 * 8ft[/tex]

[tex]Width = 40ft[/tex]

So, the new measurement is 56ft by 40ft

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Before solving, make sure to know what is being asked. The question is asking for the answer in cubic meters ([tex]m^{3}[/tex]), but the given is in cm. Let's convert 9 cm to meter first.

Take note that 1 cm is 0.01 meter, so:

9 cm is 0.09 meter

Next, remember the formula for the volume of a cube: V = [tex]a^{3}[/tex], where V is equal to volume and [tex]a^{3}[/tex] refers to the side of the cube multiplied three times.

V = 0.09 m x 0.09 m x 0.09 m

V = 0.000729 [tex]m^{3}[/tex]

A model car is for sale online. The owner discounts the price by 5% each day until it sells. On the third day, the car sells. If the original price of the model car was $40, how much did the car sell for to the nearest cent?

Answers

The price at which they will sell the car is $34.30.

What is the selling price?

A discount reduces the carrying value of the model car. If the price of the car is discounted by 5% everyday, it means that the car decreases at an exponential rate. When there is an exponential decrease, the value of the car falls faster with the passage of time.

Exponential functions have this form [tex]e^{x}[/tex]

Where:

x = the variable e = constant

The formula that can be used to determine the price at which they will sell the car is:

Selling price = initial value x (1 - discount rate)^number of days

$40 x (1 - 0.05)^3

$40 x 0.95^3 = $34.30

6.Find the Value of x:
[tex]x + ( x + 1) + (2x + 2) + (3x + 3) = 90[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

1) y = -8/5x + 8

2) slope = -3

3) x = 4

4) x ≥ 22/3

5) x = 21/16

6) x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

1) For the slope, you know you go up 8 left 5 to get from the x-intercept to your y-intercept so it’s positive 8 over -5 (rise over run).

This makes your slope 8/-5 which is the same as -8/5

2) The slope is next to the x, so the slope is -3/1 which is -3.

3) Rearrange the equation to y = mx + b.

Firstly, subtract 6x from both sides:

-3y = -6x + 24

Then, divide both sides by -3:

y = 2x - 8

To get the x-intercept, divide the y-intercept (but positive) by the slope.

8/2 = 4

Your x-intercept is 4.

4) Distribute on the terms:

-53 ≥ -9x - 9 + 3x

Combine like terms:

-53 ≥ -6x - 9

Add 9 to both sides:

-44 ≥ -6x

Divide both sides by -6:

44/6 ≤ x

(Inequality flipped because you divide by a negative)

Simplify:

22/3 ≤ x

Flip the inequality:

x ≥ 22/3

5) Multiply both sides by 4:

3x - x/3 = 7/2

Multiply both sides by 3:

9x - x = 21/2

Combine like terms:

8x = 21/2

Divide both sides by 8:

x = 21/16

or

x = 1.3125

6) Combine like terms:

7x + 6 = 90

Subtract 6 from both sides:

7x = 84

Divide both sides by 7:

x = 12
