You have been offered a job and have two salary options from which to choose. you can be paid $500 a week plus 2% of all weekly sales, or you can be paid $300 a week plus 10% of all weekly sales. how much would you have to sell for the two methods to pay the same?

use an equation of ratios to determine the amount of gas needed to fill the tank.

    0.2             0.8

  =    

288.75             x

                                                              231 gal

so, 0.2x = (0.8)(288.75 gal), and x = = 1155 gal.

                                                                0.2

it would take 1155 gal. to fill the tank.

the cost would be

1155 gal         $3

* = $3465   (answer)

      1           1 gal

hope this you

x = 3 ± √(5+y)
