Alan has an annual base salary of $24,000. in addition to his salary, he earns 8% of his total sales (s). if he wants to earn at least $56,000 next year, how much does he need to sell? a. s > $244,480 b. s > $550,000 c. s > $448,000 d. s > $400,000

D. S > $400,000

Step-by-step explanation:

His salary is base salary plus commission

salary = 24000 + .08 sales

He wants a salary of at least 56000

56000<= 24000 +.08 sales

Subtract 24000

56000-24000<= 24000-24000+.08*sales

32000<= .08 * sales

Divide each side by .08

32000/.08 <= .08/.08 * sales

400000<= sales

answer: what in the world is this

step-by-step explanation:

step-by-step explanation: so we look at the formula un = a + (n-1)d

un is the amount of seats

n is the nth term aka row number

a is the original sequence/row number

d is the difference between each term

so in this a=22 d=6 and n can remain as n because we are simply formjng a rule

lets put these in the equation

un=22+(n-1)(6)

this is your answer to part a

however

lets double check that this is correct, we'll try putting it into the second term

un=a+(n-1)d

u2=22+(2-1)(6)

u2=22+6

u2=28

as the question said the second row has 28 seats so now we know the formula we made is correct.

as for part b

un=a+(n-1)

its asking us to find a row with 100 seats.

remember un was the amount of seata so all we do is substitute this in.

un=100 a=22 d=6

un=a+(n-1)d

100=22+(n-1)(6)

so now we simplify to find n which is the row number.

100-22=22+(n-1)(6)-22

78=(n-1)(6)

78/6=(n-1)(6)/6

13=n-1

13+1=n-1+1

14=n

so now we know that in the 14th row there is 100 seats.

hope this and that you understood! its my first time using the app or anyone out on here : p its also me to revise so a bunch! ask more questions if you dont understand ☺
