Roger earns 3% commission on sales of $9,500 as an electrical supplies wholesaler. What is his commission?

$285

Step-by-step explanation:

So let's quickly analyze the problem, it is asking us how much Roger makes as a commission on sales if he earns 3% on sales for $9,500.

We can make the 3% into a decimal, by dividing it by a 100.

3/100=0.03

Now that we have a decimal to work with, we can multiply this to the amount of sales,

9500 x 0.03= $285 ( He earns $285 as commission for $9500)

set each factor equal to 0

4x-3 = 0

2x-1 = 0

solve for x.

4x-3=0

4x=3

x= 3/4

solve for x. 

2x-1= 0

2x= 1

x= 1/2

eventually after a few more steps, your answer should be 1/2 is less than or equal to x and 3/4 is greater than or equal to x
