Sarah jones earns $525 per week selling life insurance for farmer’s insurance plus 5% of sales over $5,750. sarah’s sales this month (four weeks) are $20,000. how much does sarah earn this month?

$2,812.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

y > amount that Sarah earn this month

x > amount of sales over $5,750

we know that

5%=5/100=0.05

The linear equation that represent this situation is

y=4(525)+0.05(x)

Find the value of x

x=20,000-5750=$14,250

substitute

y=4(525)+0.05(14,250)=$2,812.50

step-by-step explanation: given equation a = h(b 1+b 2)

also we are given values of a, h and b 1 as :

a = 16, h = 4, and b 1 = 3.

in order to solve it for b 2, we need to plug the given values of   a, h and b 1 .

therefore, plugging values of   a, h and b 1   in given equation, we get

16 = 4( 3 + b 2)

first dividing both sides by 4, we get

4 = 3 + b 2

subtracting 3 from both sides, we get

4 -3 = 3 -3 + b 2

1 = b 2.
