Asales associate in a department store earns a commission on each suit and each pair of shoes sold. one week, she earned $47 in commission for for selling 3 suits and a pair of shoes. the next week, she earned $107 in commission for selling 7 suits and 2 pairs of shoes. how much commission for selling each suit and each pairs of shoes? solve by substitution.

The commission for selling each suit is $ 13 and commission for selling each pairs of shoes is $ 8

Solution:

Let "a" be the commission earned on each suit

Let "b" be the commission earned on each pair of soes

One week, she earned $47 in commission for for selling 3 suits and a pair of shoes

Therefore, we frame a equation as:

The next week, she earned $107 in commission for selling 7 suits and 2 pairs of shoes

Therefore, we frame a equation as:

Substitute eqn 1 in eqn 2

7a + 2(47 - 3a) = 107

7a + 94 - 6a = 107

a = 107 - 94

Substitute a = 13 in eqn 1

b = 47 - 3(13)

b = 47 - 39

Thus commission for selling each suit is $ 13 and commission for selling each pairs of shoes is $ 8

hi there!

first we need to find out how much they are adding to each number to make the next number.

ex: 4 + 4 = 8, 8 + 8 = 16, and so on.

so continuing with 32,

32 + 32 = 64

64 + 64 = 128

128 + 128 = 256

256 + 256 = 512

4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512

the 8th term of the sequence will be 512

hope this ! ~

could you provide figure.
