A salesperson is paid a flat rate plus a fixed percentage of her sales. Last month, she sold $16,000 worth of goods and was paid $1,600. Two months ago, she had $12,000 in sales and was paid $1,400. This month she sold $11,000 worth of goods. How much will she be paid? $550 $855 $1,100 $1,350

She will be paid $1,350

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the flat rate be $x and the fixed percentage be y% = y/100

Thus, her payment per month will be

x + (y% of monthly amount) = Payment

For the 1st month, her pay calculations will look like this;

x + y/100 *(16,000) = 1,600

x + 160y = 1600 •••••••••(i)

For the month before the last, her calculations would be;

x + y/100(12,000) = 1,400

x + 120y = 1,400 ••••••••(ii)

It is these two equations that we now solve simultaneously.

We can directly get this by subtracting equation ii from i

That would be;

(x-x) + (160y-120y) = (1600-1400)

40y = 200

y = 200/40

y = 5%

To get x, we can substitute in any of the equations

Let us use equation ii

x + 120(5) = 1,400

x + 600 = 1,400

x = 1,400-600

x = $800

Thus, for $11,000 , the equation will be as follows;

x + (y% of amount) = payment

= $800 + (5/100 * 11,000) = $800 + $550 = $1,350

first, you divide the triangle in two, tô form a retangle triangle. after, using pythagoream theorem:

18^2 = 14^2 + (x/2)^2

(x^2/4) + 196 = 324

x^2/4 = 324 - 196

x^2/4 = 128

x^2 = 512

x = √512

x = √2^9

x = 16√2 cm

i hope i you.
