An insurance agent receives 16% commission on every premium paid. how much commission is paid on a policy with a premium of $497.69? $31.10 $79.63 $311.06 $796.30

  $79.63

Step-by-step explanation:

You can figure this by estimating. 16% is a little less than 20%, which is 1/5. $497.69 is almost $500. So, 1/5 of that is almost $100, and a little less than that is about $80. The closest answer choice is $79.63.

If you want to figure it exactly, you can do the multiplication ...

  16% of $497.69 = 0.16 × $497.69 = $79.6304 ≈ $79.63

2. angles qrt and qst both measures 156 degrees.

step-by-step explanation:  

we have been given a diagram of a circle and we are told that measure of arc qvt is 156 degrees.  

we can see from our given diagram that angle qrt and angle qst subtends to arc qvt.

since we know that angles subtended by the same arc at the circumference are always equal.

by angle subtended by same arc theorem, measure of angle qrt and angle qst will be equal to the measure of arc qvt.

therefore, angles qrt and qst both measures 156 degrees and 2nd statement is the correct choice.
