A salesperson works 40 hours per week at a job where he has two options for being paid. Option A is an hourly wage of ​$18. Option B is a commission rate of ​8% on weekly sales. How much does he need to sell this week to earn the same amount with the two​ options?

$9,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Option A:

In a week he will earn 720 since 18 × 40 = 720

Option B:

(x=the amount of weekly sales)

8x ÷ 100=720

8x=72,000

x= 72,000 ÷ 8

72,000 ÷ 8 = 9,000

The salesperson needs to make a weekly sales of $9,000 to earn the same amount with both options.

stew reads at the fastest rate of 265 words per minute.

step-by-step explanation:

it's a given that felicia reads at 260 word per minute and on connie's graph we can see that she reads 200 words per minute. since stew's table tells us that he read 795 in 3 minutes, we can divide 795 by 3 to find out how many words he reads per minute.

795/3 = 265

stew reads 265 words per minute - he reads at the fastest rate since felecia reads at 260 words per minute and connie reads at 200 words per minute.

stew (265) > felecia (260) > connie (200)
