A property leasing agent earns a fixed weekly base salary of $800\$800, plus a 5%5\% commission on the total dollar value of all leases signed that week. If the agent signed leases totaling $3,000\$3,000 last week, what was their total gross pay for the week?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: $950\$950

Cevap

The agent's total gross pay is $950\$950.
The total gross pay is the sum of the base salary and the commission. The commission is calculated as 5%5\% of the $3,000\$3,000 lease value, which is $150\$150. Adding this to the $800\$800 base salary results in a total gross pay of $950\$950.

To find the original price after successive discounts, you must work backwards from the final price. First, divide the final price by the complement of the second discount (100%−5%=95%100\% - 5\% = 95\%, or 0.950.95) to find the intermediate price: $3,230÷0.95=$3,400\$3,230 \div 0.95 = \$3,400. Next, divide this intermediate price by the complement of the first discount (100%−15%=85%100\% - 15\% = 85\%, or 0.850.85) to find the regular total price: $3,400÷0.85=$4,000\$3,400 \div 0.85 = \$4,000.

A contractor is analyzing a zoning plan for a commercial parking lot. The plan's legend indicates a scale of 1 inch=10 yards1\text{ inch} = 10\text{ yards}. If the parking lot covers an area of 4 square inches4\text{ square inches} on the zoning plan, what is the actual area of the parking lot in square feet?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 3,6003,600

Cevap

The actual area of the parking lot is 3,6003,600 square feet.
The correct answer is found by first aligning the units: the scale of 1 inch=10 yards1\text{ inch} = 10\text{ yards} is equivalent to 1 inch=30 feet1\text{ inch} = 30\text{ feet}. Because we are dealing with area (a two-dimensional measurement), this linear scale must be squared, meaning 1 square inch1\text{ square inch} on the drawing represents 900 square feet900\text{ square feet} in reality (302=90030^2 = 900). Finally, multiplying the drawing's area by this factor yields the actual area: 4×900=3,600 square feet4 \times 900 = 3,600\text{ square feet}.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Convert the linear scale from yards to feet.
10 yards=30 feet10\text{ yards} = 30\text{ feet}, so the scale is 1 inch=30 feet1\text{ inch} = 30\text{ feet}.
The final question asks for the area in square feet, so it is easiest to align the units of the scale factor first.
2
Determine the area scale factor by squaring the linear scale.
1 square inch=(30 feet)×(30 feet)=900 square feet1\text{ square inch} = (30\text{ feet}) \times (30\text{ feet}) = 900\text{ square feet}.
Because area represents two dimensions, the linear scale must be squared to find out how much actual area one square inch on the drawing represents.
3
Multiply the drawing area by the area scale factor.
4 square inches×900 square feet per square inch=3,600 square feet4\text{ square inches} \times 900\text{ square feet per square inch} = 3,600\text{ square feet}.
This scales the blueprint measurement up to the actual real-world area.

A military mess hall requires exactly 500500 pounds of flour. Supplier A sells flour in 2525-pound bags for $14.00\$14.00 per bag. Supplier B sells the same flour in 4040-ounce boxes for $1.50\$1.50 per box. How much total money, in dollars, is saved by purchasing the entire 500500 pounds from the more cost-effective supplier instead of the less cost-effective one?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 20

Cevap

The savings amount to 20 dollars.
Supplier A's total cost for 500 pounds is 280(20bags×280 (20 bags × 14.00), and Supplier B's total cost is 300(200boxes×300 (200 boxes × 1.50). Purchasing from Supplier A saves $20.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Convert the weight of Supplier B's boxes from ounces to pounds.
4040 ounces ÷16\div 16 ounces/pound = 2.52.5 pounds per box.
Measurements must be in the same unit (pounds) to accurately calculate the required number of packages and compare costs.
2
Determine the number of packages required from each supplier to get exactly 500 pounds.
Supplier A: 500÷25=20500 \div 25 = 20 bags. Supplier B: 500÷2.5=200500 \div 2.5 = 200 boxes.
This establishes the exact purchasing volume needed for the final cost calculation.
3
Calculate the total cost for each supplier.
Supplier A: 2020 bags ×$14.00\times \$14.00 = $280\$280. Supplier B: 200200 boxes ×$1.50\times \$1.50 = $300\$300.
Total cost is the package count multiplied by the price per package.
4
Calculate the difference between the two total costs.
$300−$280=$20\$300 - \$280 = \$20.
Subtracting the most cost-effective option from the alternative gives the total savings.

Calculating and comparing total costs across different measurement units by determining unit prices and required volumes.

Alternatif Yöntem

Instead of computing total costs, calculate the unit price per pound for both. Supplier A: $14.00÷25=$0.56\$14.00 \div 25 = \$0.56 per pound. Supplier B: 4040 oz is 2.52.5 lbs; $1.50÷2.5=$0.60\$1.50 \div 2.5 = \$0.60 per pound. The difference is $0.04\$0.04 per pound. Multiply this difference by the 500500 pounds needed: 500×$0.04=$20500 \times \$0.04 = \$20.

A naval maintenance crew is preparing an industrial cleaning solution for ship deck equipment. The standard procedure requires mixing chemical solvent and distilled water in a ratio of 3:23:2. If the crew needs to prepare a total of 150150 gallons of the cleaning solution, how many gallons of chemical solvent are required?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 9090

Cevap

The required amount of chemical solvent is 9090 gallons.
The correct answer accurately determines that the mixture consists of 5 total parts (3 parts solvent + 2 parts water). Dividing the total 150 gallons by 5 yields 30 gallons per part. Multiplying this by the 3 parts needed for the chemical solvent results in 90 gallons.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Determine the total number of parts in the ratio.
3 (solvent)+2 (water)=5 total parts3 \text{ (solvent)} + 2 \text{ (water)} = 5 \text{ total parts}
To find the fractional share of the whole, you must first establish how many total proportional parts make up the complete mixture.
2
Calculate the volume of a single part by dividing the total volume by the total number of parts.
150 gallons÷5 parts=30 gallons per part150 \text{ gallons} \div 5 \text{ parts} = 30 \text{ gallons per part}
This establishes the baseline unit value that can be scaled to find any individual component's volume.
3
Multiply the single part volume by the number of solvent parts required by the ratio.
30 gallons/part×3 parts=90 gallons30 \text{ gallons/part} \times 3 \text{ parts} = 90 \text{ gallons}
The ratio dictates there are 3 parts of solvent for every complete batch of the mixture.

A mechanic needs to buy a new set of socket wrenches. The regular price of the set is $150.00\$150.00. If the store is offering a 30%30\% discount on all tools, what is the final sale price of the socket wrench set in dollars?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 105

Cevap

The final sale price is $105.00\$105.00.
The correct answer is found by first determining the dollar value of the discount. A 30%30\% discount on $150.00\$150.00 is calculated as 150×0.30150 \times 0.30, which equals $45.00\$45.00. Subtracting this discount from the original price (150−45150 - 45) gives the final sale price of $105.00\$105.00.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Calculate the discount amount.
$150.00×0.30=$45.00\$150.00 \times 0.30 = \$45.00
To find out how much money is being taken off the regular price.
2
Subtract the discount amount from the regular price.
$150.00−$45.00=$105.00\$150.00 - \$45.00 = \$105.00
To determine the final sale price after the discount is applied.

Cevap: 16x481y6 \frac{16x^4}{81y^6}

Cevap

The expression fully simplifies to 16x481y6\frac{16x^4}{81y^6}.
The correct expression is derived by sequentially simplifying the contents of the parentheses using the quotient rule, applying the outer negative exponents to both the numerical coefficients and variables, and then multiplying the resulting terms by adding the exponents of like bases.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Simplify the fraction inside the first set of parentheses using the quotient rule for exponents (am/an=am−na^m / a^n = a^{m-n}).
3x−2y32xy−2=32x−2−1y3−(−2)=32x−3y5 \frac{3x^{-2}y^3}{2xy^{-2}} = \frac{3}{2} x^{-2-1} y^{3-(-2)} = \frac{3}{2} x^{-3} y^5
Simplifying inside the parentheses first follows the order of operations and makes subsequent calculations more manageable.
2
Apply the outer negative exponent (−2-2) to all components of the first simplified term, including the numerical coefficient.
(32x−3y5)−2=(32)−2(x−3)−2(y5)−2=49x6y−10 \left( \frac{3}{2} x^{-3} y^5 \right)^{-2} = \left( \frac{3}{2} \right)^{-2} (x^{-3})^{-2} (y^5)^{-2} = \frac{4}{9} x^6 y^{-10}
The power of a product rule states that (ab)n=anbn(ab)^n = a^n b^n, and applying a negative power to a fraction flips it: (a/b)−n=(b/a)n(a/b)^{-n} = (b/a)^n.
3
Apply the outer negative exponent (−1-1) to the second term.
(9x24y4)−1=4y49x2=49x−2y4 \left( \frac{9x^2}{4y^4} \right)^{-1} = \frac{4y^4}{9x^2} = \frac{4}{9} x^{-2} y^4
A negative exponent of −1-1 simply takes the reciprocal (flips the fraction).
4
Multiply the two resulting expressions by grouping coefficients and using the product rule for exponents (am×an=am+na^m \times a^n = a^{m+n}).
(49x6y−10)×(49x−2y4)=(49×49)(x6×x−2)(y−10×y4)=1681x4y−6 \left( \frac{4}{9} x^6 y^{-10} \right) \times \left( \frac{4}{9} x^{-2} y^4 \right) = \left( \frac{4}{9} \times \frac{4}{9} \right) (x^6 \times x^{-2}) (y^{-10} \times y^4) = \frac{16}{81} x^4 y^{-6}
When multiplying terms with the same base, their exponents are added together.
5
Rewrite the final expression using only positive exponents.
1681x4y−6=16x481y6 \frac{16}{81} x^4 y^{-6} = \frac{16x^4}{81y^6}
Standard mathematical notation requires fully simplified algebraic expressions to be written without negative exponents.
