The salary plus commission employee earned $3,500 in January. Let his amount of sales for the month of January be x, then $2,000 + 3% of x = $3,500. 0.03x = $3,500 - $2,000 = $1,500 x = $1,500 / 0.03 = $50,000 The straight commission employee earned $3,850 in January. Let his amount of sales for the month of January be y, then 7% of y = $3,850. 0.07y = $3,850 y = $3,850 / 0.07 = $55,000 The graduated commission employee earned $3,600 in January. Let his amount of sales for the month of January be z, then 5% of $40,000 + 8% of z = $3,600. 0.05 x 40,000 + 0.08z = $3,600 $2,000 + 0.08z = $3,600 0.08z = $3,600 - $2,000 = $1,600 z = $1,600 / 0.08 = $20,000 Total sales for the graduated commission employee<span> = $40,000 + $20,000 = $60,000 Therefore, the graduated commission employee had the largest dollar amount in sales of $60,000 for the month of January</span>

A total of $150000 is invested in two funds paying 6.25% and 6% simple interest. If the total interest for the year is $9212.50,
Georgia [21]

Answer:

  • $85,000 at 6.25%
  • $65,000 at 6.00%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the amount invested at 6.25%. Then the total interest earned is ...

  0.0625x + 0.0600(150,000 -x) = 9212.50

  0.0025x = 212.50 . . . . . . subtract 9000, collect terms

  x = 212.50/0.0025 = 85,000

  150,000 - 85,000 = 65,000 . . . . amount invested at the lower rate

$85,000 is invested at 6.25%; $65,000 is invested at 6%.

Given: PRST square
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

7a²/16

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the triangle PTS

½ × a × a

a²/2

Length of PS:

sqrt(a² + a²)

asqrt(2)

Length of MS:

¼asqrt(2)

Triangles MCS and TPS are similar

With sides in the ratio:

¼asqrt(2) : a

sqrt(2)/4 : 1

Area of triangle SMC:

A/(a²/2) = [(sqrt(2)/4)]²

2A/a² = 1/8

A = a²/16

Area of PTMC

= a²/2 - a²/16

= 7a²/16

Craig is considering four loans. Loan L has a nominal rate of 8.254%, compounded daily. Loan M has a nominal rate of 8.474%, com
nalin [4]
<span>In order for you to be able to determine on which is the best effective interest rate, we need to compute each interest and see on how much would it accrue after it matures. The formula to use is the compound interest formula which is A=P(1+r/n)^nt, wherein A is the amount of due including the interest, P as the principal, r as the interest rate, n as the number of times it would be compounded per year and t as the number of years it would be loaned. To reassign the formula with each given interest rate, and assuming that the amount to be loaned would be 1,000 and the number of years it would be loaned will be 5 years, the amount due after 5 years for the 8.254% compounded daily will be 1,510.82, for the 8.474% compounded weekly will be 1,527.03, for the 8.533% compounded monthly will be 1,529.80, for the 8.604% compounded yearly will be 1,510.88. The best effective interest rate offer would be the 8.254% compounded daily.</span><span />

From 1994 to 1995 the sales of a book decreased by 80%. If the sales in 1996 for the same as in 1994, By what percent did the in
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

400%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the sales be "100" in 1994

Since, it decreased 80%, the sales was:

80% = 80/100 = 0.8

0.8 * 100 = 80 (decreased by 80)

So, it was

Sales in 1995: 100 - 80 = 20

Sales in 1996 was same as in 1994, so that's 100

Thus,

Sales in 1994: 100

Sales in 1995: 20

Sales in 1996: 100

We need to find percentage increase form 1995 to 1996, that is what percentage increase is from 20 to 100?

We will use the formula:

\frac{New-Old}{Old}*100

Where

New is 100

Old is 20

SO, we have:

\frac{New-Old}{Old}*100\\=\frac{100-20}{20}*100\\=4*100\\=400

So, it increased by 400%
