Marcus can choose between a monthly salaryof $1,500 plus 5.5% of sales or $2,400 plus 3% of sales. He expects sales
between $5,000 and $10,000 a month. Which salary option should he
choose? Explain

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: Marcus should choose $2,400 plus 3% of sales.

His salary is composed of a fixed salary and a variable salary.

Fixed Salary   +   Variable Salary = Monthly Salary
2400    150 (3% of 5k) = 2350 - minimum salary he'll receive
2400    300 (3% of 10k) = 2700 - maximum salary he'll receive

VS

Fixed Salary + Variable Salary = Monthly Salary
1500 275 (5.5% of 5k) = 1775 - minimum salary he'll receive
1500 550 (5.5% of 10k) = 2,050 - maximum salary he'll receive

As you can see, despite the high percentage of sales offered, it is not a good option because the fixed salary is low as compared to the other option. Even the maximum salary he'll receive under the option $1500 is way lower than the minimum salary he'll receive under the option $2400.

I have one half of a square and i want to divide it one eighth how many pieces would I have

Answers

You will have 4 pieces.

Explanation

Suppose, the number of pieces is $x$

As each piece must be $(1)/(8)$ of a square and you have initially $(1)/(2)$ of a square, so the equation will be.....

$(1)/(8)x= (1)/(2)\n \n x= (1)/(2)*8 = 4$

So, you will have 4 pieces.

The 6th graders at Mahone Middle School are raising money for a new flowerbed in front of the school. For every $10 raised by the students, a local business owner will match 50%. If the students raise $139, is it reasonable that they will have $240 after the money is matched?

so...
add 139 to 69.5 and you get 208.5

Solve:
-3 (x + 5) = -9
x=?

Answers

Answer:

x=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

-3 (x + 5) = -9

Divide each side by -3

-3 (x + 5)/-3 = -9/-3

x+5 = 3

Subtract 5 from each side to isolate x

x+5-5 = 3-5

x=-2

Kate made a box to hold her jewelry collection. She used 42 inches of wood to build the sides of the box. If the box was 9 Inches wide, how long was the box

Answers

The correct answer for the question that is being presented above is this one: "11.5 inches."

Perimeter = 2W + 2L
42 = 2(9) + 2L
42 = 19 + 2L
2L = 23
L = 11.5 inches

So the other side of the box has a length of 11.5 inches.
