Henry earns a base salary plus commission. At the end of March he was paid \$2,427 based on his monthly sales of \$15,800. At the end of April he earned \$2,771.50 based on \$21,100 in sales. What was his base salary? You don't have to show your work

The base salary is $1,400

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we are interested in calculating the base salary.

Now let’s picture his earnings as this, a base salary of let’s say $x and a percentage of y% of total sales as commission.

So let’s move!

For the month of march, his earnings is calculated as follows;

x + (y/100 * 15,800) = 2427

so we have;

x + 158y = 2427 •••••••(i)

For the month of April, we have

x + (y/100 * 21,100) = 2771.5

x + 211y = 2771.5 ••••••(ii)

So we have two equations to solve simultaneously.

We can easily get y by subtracting equation i from ii

That would be ;

(211y-158y) = 2771.5-2427

53y = 344.5

y = 344.5/53

y = 6.5%

So we can now get the base salary by substituting the value of y in any of the equations. Let’s use the first

x + 158(6.5) = 2427

x + 1027 = 2427

x = 2427-1027

x = $1,400

a.) list the factors of 40.

1/2/4/5/8/10/20/40

b.) list the factors of 40 that represent the number of cans that could be on each shelf.

5

c.) how many different arrangements of cans are possible?

just one because if you put more on one shelf you will go way over 40 and the cabinet will probably break.

d.) what are the possible arrangements of the cans?

put 5 cans on each self to reach 40 cans in total.

e.) which arrangement uses all the shelves?

5 because you can put 5 cans on each shelf, and since there are 8 shelfs you are equally going to get 40 cans.
