An insurance agent is paid 20% commission on his collections. if he collects $880.00, how much is his commission

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The insurance agent's commission is $176.00.

To calculate the agent's commission, we will multiply the amount collected by the commission rate.

Commission = Amount collected × Commission rate

Given:

Amount collected = $880.00

Commission rate = 20% = 0.20

Now, putting the values in the above equation:

Commission = $880.00 × 0.20

Commission = $176.00

Therefore, the insurance agent's commission is $176.00.

The area of a triangular field is 900msquare what is the base of the triangle if the height is 60m

Answers

Area formula of a triangle is:
A = $(1)/(2)$ bh
We know the are and the height, so substitute to find the base
900 m² = $(1)/(2)$ × b × 60 m
900 = 30b
Divide by 30 to isolate b
$(900)/(30) = (30b)/(30)$
30 and 30 cancels out
b = 30 m

Base of this triangle is 30 m

The mean of seven numbers is 21. Five of the numbers are 18, 23, 21, 17, and 19. One of the remaining numbers is 3/4 of the other remaining number. Find the two unknown numbers.

Answers

mean of a set of numbers is
(sum of the values of the numbers in the set)/(how many numbers in the set)=mean
example
1,2,4
mean is
(1+2+4)/3=7/3

ok

mean of 7 numbers is 21
(7numbers)/7=21

"5 of them are 18,23,21,17"
(mentally do 7-5=2)
2 missing
"one of the remaining is 3/4 of other"
the 2 remaining is x and 3/4x

nmow we have
(18+23+21+17+19+x+3/4x)/7=21
add like terms
(98+1 and 3/4x)/7=21
mulitply everybody by 7
98+7/4x=147
minus 98 both sides
7/4x=49
multiply both sides by 4/7 to clear fraction (7/4 times 4/7=28/28=1, so 1x=x)

1x=196/7
x=28
the other number is 3/4 of this
3/4x=3/4*28=21

the 2 unknowns are 28 arnd 21
