Sarah jones earns $525 per week selling life insurance for farmer’s insurance plus 5% of sales over $5,750. sarah’s sales this month (four weeks) are $20,000. how much does sarah earn this month?

$2,812.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

y > amount that Sarah earn this month

x > amount of sales over $5,750

we know that

5%=5/100=0.05

The linear equation that represent this situation is

y=4(525)+0.05(x)

Find the value of x

x=20,000-5750=$14,250

substitute

y=4(525)+0.05(14,250)=$2,812.50

option 1 is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

y varies inversely with x and constant of variation is 4

the equation will be:

y = k/x

where k =4 so,

y = 4/x

if we put values of x of option 1 in the above equation and find values of y

y = 4/-2 => y =-2

y = 4/-1 => y = -4

y = 4/1 => y = 4

y = 4/2 => y =2

so, all the values of x and y are correct.

if we put values of x given in other options and find value of y we cannot find whole table satisfying the equation.

hence option 1 is correct.

1gm = 1000mg so 0.1gm = 1000mg

first, convert the weight to kg

160lb * 1kg/2.2lb = 72.7kg

next, the dose

72.7kg * 100mg/kg = 7270mg
