The expression for calculating a percentage is whatever% of anything is simply (whatever/100) * anything.


The total 800 + 1250 + 120 + 625 + 65 equals 2860.

Rhonda does not earn a commission on the first 2000, only on the excess amount, which is 860.

Calculating 15% of 860 involves (15/100) * 860.

Answer:

$129

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the total from Rhonda's sales, consider:

stove: $800.00

refrigerator: $1,250.00

microwave: $120.00

dishwasher: $625.00

blender: $65.00

Total sales = 800.00 + 1250.00 + 120.00 + 625.00 + 65.00 = $2860.00

As indicated in the question, Rhonda only receives a 15% commission on sales exceeding $2000.00.

To find the amount exceeding $2000.00, you deduce:

$2860.00 - $2000.00 = $860.00 (the commissionable amount for Rhonda)

Thus: $860 x 15% = $860 x 0.15 = $129

zzz [12365]
In the ratio of miles traveled, Mr. Storey and Mrs. Storey's journey is represented as mr: mrs = 3: 1. The total of these ratio units equals 4 (3+1), which means each unit corresponds to 3200 divided by 4, resulting in 800 miles. Mr. Storey drove 3 multiplied by 800, equating to 2400 miles, while Mrs. Storey drove 1 multiplied by 800, totaling 800 miles.

Leona [12618]

Answer:

16 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the count of years. The suburb population increases at a rate of 5000 annually, which can be formulated as:

320000 + 5000x

The city population decreases at a rate of 14000 per year, represented as:

624000 - 14000x

The point in time when both the suburb and city populations will match can be derived from:

320000 + 5000x = 624000 - 14000x

14000x + 5000x = 624000 - 320000

19000x = 304000

x = 304000 / 19000

x = 16

In 16 years, the populations of both the suburb and the city will be equivalent

Answer:

Well, 1000>(15x+t)+(50x+100t) if there are children aboard.

B. The maximum amount is 19 if one adult is going with 18 children (meal plan excluded). Meanwhile, $1000

C. If solely adults are participating, then a maximum of 8 adults can join if they plan to use the raffle ticket for meals as well. Otherwise, the maximum number would be 10.

I hope this interpretation is accurate.
