Thomas has been hired as a sales associate. He has two salary options. He can either receive a fixed salary of $850 per week or a salary of $400 per week plus a 6% commission of his weekly sales. Which solution set below represents the dollar amount of sales that he must generate each week in order for the option with commission to be the better choice? Let s represent the sales for the week.

step-by-step explanation:

27/4x^6 y^8

step-by-step explanation:

4(3x^2y^4)^3 (2x^3y^5)^4

=

108x^6 y^12 /16x^12 y^20

=

108 /16x^6 y^8

=

27 /4x^6 y^8

55.44 inches

step-by-step explanation:

part a. assuming a perfectly linear relationship, we can find the slope from the first two data points.

slope = m = (change in rainfall)/(change in years)

= (61.80 -62.33)/(2005 -2004) = -0.53/1 = -0.53

then the point-slope form of the equation of the line can be written as

y = m(x -h) +k . . . . . m = -0.53, (h, k) = (0, 62.33)

y = -0.53x +62.33 . . . x = years after 2004

part b. in 2017, x = 2017 -2004 = 13. then the predicted rainfall is

y = -0.53·13 +62.33 = 55.44 . . inches

the predicted rainfall in 2017 is 55.44 in.
