Argyle sells computers. He keeps one
eighth of his sales as a commission.
How much must he sell to earn $500?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Note: I'm assuming that he keeps 1/8 of the money spent for himself.

If this is what the question was asking, then the answer would be:

Argyle must sell $4,000 worth of computers.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we write an equation.

1/8n = $500

Note: n is the variable I'm using to represent the amount of money Argyle must sell to get $500 as commission.

Then, to get the value of n and to get rid of the fraction, we multiply both sides by 8:

1/8n * 8 = $500 * 8

= n = $4000

Therefore, Argyle must sell $4,000 worth of computers to keep 1/8 ($500) as commission.

9. Fred bought 24 new baseball cards for $50. There were two types of cards. One type cost $1 per card, and the other cost $3per card. Define the variables, and write a system of equations to find the number of each type of card he bought. Then solve the system using the best method for the situation.

Answers

Answer:1$ cards = 11 cards 3$ cards= 13

Step-by-step explanation:the first equation is -x-y=-24 and the second is x+3y=50. Solving them as a system will get 2y=26 to y=13 then plug in 13 to the y for -x-y=-24 to get 11. Mr jacobs is hard I know lol. Use elimination by subtraction and keep the first equation as x+y=24 and then flip to negative

Answer:

x = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

-79 = 7x+12x-3

-79 = 19x-3

-19x = 76

x = -4

Answer:

x = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

7x + 3(4x) + 3(-1) = -79

7x + 12x - 3 = -79

19x - 3 = -79

19x = -76

x = -4

Which set of numbers describe the side length of a right triangle

Answers

Answer: 3,4,5

Step-by-step explanation:

5² = 3² + 4²

25 = 9 + 16

25 = 25

The set of numbers 3, 4, and 5 describe the side length of a right triangle.

Option C is the correct answer.

What is the Pythagorean theorem?

Pythagorean theorem states that in a right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.

We have,

Set of numbers:

1, 2, 3

2, 3, 4

3, 4, 5

4, 5, 6

We need to find the set of numbers that describe the side length of a right triangle.

We will apply the Pythagorean theorem to all the sets of numbers.

Using 1,2,3.

1² = 2² + 3²

1 = 4 + 9

1 = 13

2² = 1² + 3²

4 = 1 + 9

4 = 10

3² = 1² + 2²

9 = 1 + 4

9 = 5

This is not true.

Similarly,

Set of numbers: 2,3,4 and 4,5,6 are not true.

Using 3, 4, 5

5² = 3² + 4²

25 = 9 + 16

25 = 25

This is true.

Thus,

The set of numbers 3, 4, and 5 describe the side length of a right triangle.

Option C is the correct answer.

What single decimal multiplier would you use to decrease by 6% followed by a 7% increase?

Answers

Answer:

the single decimal multiplier is 1.0058

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us have 100

Decreasing by 6% will be

100 - 0.06(100)

= 94

Increasing by 7%

= 94 + 0.07(94)

= 100.58

So

to get the single decimal multiplier,

we have 100.58/100 = 1.0058

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that the probability of getting a 6 is 4/5 and that the dice is rolled 500 times.

The number of sixes that would be expected to roll will be 4/5 multiplied by the number the dice is rolled

= 4/5 × 500

the equation of the line which has a gradient of 3 and passes through the point (-1,3)

Answers

Answer:

Call the line (d): y = ax + b

(d) intersects the vertical axis at the point where the intersection is 3 ⇒x = 0, y = 3 Instead of (d) we have: b = 3

(d) intersects the horizontal axis at the point where the coordinate is -1 ⇒x = −1, y = 0 Instead of (d) we have: −a + b = 0

Replace into b = 3 into -a + b = 0 we have: −a + 3 = 0⇔a = 3

So the equation for the line is y = 3x + 3
