The commission earned by selling the merchandise worth $3000 is $270

The percentage of the commission earned by the salesman is 9%

The worth of the merchandise is $3000

A sales commission is typically an amount paid to an employee upon completion of a task for the sale of a specified quantity of goods or services.

Therefore, the commission earned can be found using the formula,

              Commission = SP x CP

where SP is the selling price and

          CP is the commission percentage.

Let us substitute the known values in the above equation, we get

              Commission = 3000 x 9%

                                    = 3000 x 9/100

                                    = 30 x 9

                                    = $270

Therefore, the commission earned is $270

The measurements of the rectangle are 10 cm and 5cm.

What is rectangle?

A rectangle could be a quadrilateral with four right angles in geometer geometry. It may be outlined as an angulate quadrilateral as a result of all of its angles square measure equal; or a quadrangle with a right angle.

Main Body:

Let the width be x.

According to question :

width is 5 more than 1 times the length(l), so

length (l) = width -5

Area if rectangle = 50 cm²

Formula for area of rectangle = length * width

⇒50 = x*(x-5)

⇒50 = x² - 5x

⇒x² - 5x - 50 =0

splitting the middle term

⇒x²- 10x +5x -50 = 0

⇒x(x-10) +5(x-10)

⇒(x-10)(x+5)

Hence the value for x = 10 or -5 .

but length can never be -ve so x= 10.

Width = 10 cm

length = width -5

length = 10 -5

l = 5cm

Now we have to find the sum of the reciprocal of the two numbers.

1/a + 1/b = b + a/ ab

            = a + b / ab -------(2)

As from equation (1) we have

a + b/ ab = 44

Answer:

5 11/16 as a decimal = 5.6875

7 24/25 as a decimal is 7.96

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

5 11/16 = 5.6875

7 24/25 = 7.97

Step-by-step explanation:

you keep the whole numbers then you turn the fractions into decimals so to do that you divide 100 by the denominator and whatever the answer is you multiply it by the numerator to get your answer, 100 divided by 16 is 6.25 and 6.25 multiplied by 11 is 68.75 but since the 5 is already the whole number you basically just forget the decimal in 68.75 ( I hope that makes sense)

And for 7 24/25 you do 100 divided by 25 and that’s 4 so now you multiply 24 by 4 and that’s 96 so that goes after the decimal so it’s 7.96 (I hope that helped and all made sense.)

The distance between the two cars varies at a speed of 65 m/h after two hours.

Let y represent the car's southward travel distance.

Let x be the distance traveled by the westbound automobile.

Allow a to be the distance between the two vehicles.

A right-angled triangle can be used to symbolize these three distances. So, we can state:

a^2 = x^2 + y ^2

Given that the distances vary with respect to time, let's make a distinction.:__________(1)

2a da/dt = 2x dx/dt +2y dy/dt

Rate of distance change between two cars, da/dt

The car is traveling west (dx/dt) at 25 m/h, while the car traveling south (dy/dt) is traveling at 60 m/h.

Therefore:

dy/dt = 60 m/h and dx/dt  = 25 m/h

The separation between the two cars will be after two hours:

y = 3* 60 = 180 miles

x = 3 * 25 = 75 miles

Therefore:

a^2 = x^2 + y ^2

a^2 = 75 ^2+ 180 ^2

a= [tex]\sqrt{5625 + 32400}[/tex]

a= 195

From (1):

195(da/dt) = 75(25) + 180(60)

195(da/dt) = 1875 + 10800 = 12675

da/dt = 12675 / 195 = 65 m/h

As a result, after two hours, the two automobiles' separation is varying at a speed of 65 m/h.

Answer:

The rocket reaches its maximum height at 2.25 seconds.

It’s maximum height is 88 feet.

This can be found by finding the derivative of the function and setting it to zero.

-16x² +72x + 7

Taking first derivative and setting to zero:

-32x + 72 = 0

x = -72/-32=2.25

Find the height when x is 2 seconds by substituting this value into the original function:

-16 * (2.25)² + 72 * 2.25 + 7 = 88

Therefore the maximum turning point of the parabola will be (2.25, 88)

Define Standard error.

The standard error (SE)of a statistic (usually an estimate of a parameter) is the standard deviation of its sampling distribution or an estimate of that standard deviation. If the statistic is the sample mean, it is called the standard error of the mean (SEM).

Null Hypothesis

P = 0.54

Alternate Hypothesis

P < 0.54

For 0.05 level , the value of Z = 1.645

Decision rule ,

reject null Hypothesis if test statistic Z < -1.645

sample size (n) = 200

sample success (x) = 100

Standard error SE = √(p * (1 - p) / n

                         = √0.54 * (1 - 0.54) / 200

Standard error SE= 0.0352

Sample proportion (р)  = x/n

                               = 100 / 200 ⇒ 0.5

test statistic  Z = (р - P) / SE

                         = (0.5 - 0.54) / 0.0352

test statistic  Z = -1.136 or -1.14

Function [tex]-3x^2+18x+3[/tex] has maximum value at x = 3 and its maximum value is 30.

How do you find the maximum and minimum value of the function?

Calculus can be used to find the critical point, or the x-value of the vertex, by taking the derivative of the function, or f'(x). To determine the critical point, we shall set the function's first derivative to zero and solve for x. This point's maximum or minimum value can be determined by taking the second derivative, or f"(x). The second derivative will have a minimal value if it is positive. The second derivative will be the highest value if it is negative.

Given function:

[tex]-3x^2+18x+3[/tex]

To find the maximum and minimum value of the function use second derivative test.

On differentiating the above function we get,

-6x + 18

Now, find critical point

-6x + 18 = 0

-6x = - 18

x = - 18/-6 = 3

x = 3

Here, x = 3 is the critical point. Now again differentiate the above function we get,

-6

As , [tex]f^{''}(x)[/tex] < 0 , therefore x = 3 will given a maximum value of function and maximum value is

f(3) = [tex]-3(3)^2+18x+3 = -3(9) + 18(3) + 3 = -27 + 54 + 3 = 27 + 3 = 30[/tex]

The missing base for the expression x² = 100 is given by:

± x = 10.

The expression in this problem is given as follows:

x² = 100.

The missing base is represented by the variable x, hence we have to solve the above expression x² = 100 for the variable x.

To solve for x, we need to isolate the variable x, applying the inverse operation to the second power, which is the square root, hence the variable x is isolated as follows:

x = plus/minus square root of 100.

The plus/minus sign is necessary because the x-squared function is even, then the missing base is obtained as follows:

Step-by-step explanation:

Comment

This requires 2 steps.

Finding <A

<A is found by taking the inverse tangent of the ratio 8/19.

<A = tan-1*(8/19)

<A = 22.83 degrees. We'll round it later.

Finding <ABD

You have to use 2 facts here.

All triangle angles add up to 180 degrees.

You find the third angle by subtracting the other 2.

<A = 22.83                                       Found above

<ADB = 90 degrees                        Given

<ABD = ?

Equation

< A + <ADB + <ABD = 180

Solution

22,83 + 90 + <ABD = 180                 Combine the left

112.83 + <ABD = 180                         Subtract 112.83 from both sides.

112.83-112.83 +<ABD = 180 - 112.83  Combine

There is a 0.97541 or 97.541% probability that at least one student will choose a president who passed away in office.

Take into account the details offered.

43 US presidents are listed by Mr. Bray, 8 of them passed away while in office.

Consequently, p= 8/43.

If 8 of the 43 presidents died while in office, then 43-8=35 presidents survived.

Answer:

24%

Step-by-step explanation:

6/25 is also the same as 24/100 because

(6/25)*(4/4)=24/100

Since the denominator is 100, the numerator is the percentage.

6/25=24%

Answer:

24%

Step-by-step explanation:

One way to figure this out is to multiply the denominator by 4 so that it becomes 100. This makes it easy to see what the percentage will be.

6/25 x 4/4 = 24/100

6/25 = 24%

Answer:

x = 19/2 or 9.5

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Distribute.

(4)(x) + (4)(−5) = 18

4x + −20 = 18

4x − 20 = 18

b) Add 20 to both sides.

4x − 20 + 20 = 18 + 20

4x = 38

c) Divide both sides by 4.

4x/4 = 38/4

x = 19/2 or 9.5

Answer:

9.5 or 19/2

Step-by-step explanation:

4 ( x - 5 ) = 18

Step 1 : Divide 4 on both sides.

x - 5 = 18/4

x - 5 = 4.5

Step 2 : Add 5 on both sides.

x = 4.5 + 5

x = 9.5

Value of x in fraction = 95/10 = 19/2

Value of x in decimal = 9.5

Answer:

So, the probability of selecting a number from 1 to 100 that is divisible by 5 or 7 is 0.32.

The quiz consists of 40 problems and it solved by a linear equation.

What is the linear equation?

An equation is said to be linear if the maximum power of the variable is consistently 1. Another name for it is a one-degree equation.

Assume that the quiz consists of n problems.

Denise did 7/8 of the problems correctly.

If the total number of problems of the quiz is n, the number of answers that are correct is (7/8)× n.

The number of incorrect problems are 5.

Total number of problems those are done by Denise is { (7/8)× n}+5.

Assume that Denise attempts all problems.

Now making a linear equation:

{ (7/8)× n}+5 = n

(7n)/8+5 = n

(7n+40)/8 = n

(7n+40) = 8n

Subtract 7n from both sides:

7n+40 -7n = 8n - 7n

40 = n

The number of problems in the quiz is 40.
