Shawn has been hired as a sales associate horizon mobile phone company. he has two salary options. he can either receive a fixed salary of $750.00 per week sales or a salary of $400.00 per week plus an 8% commission of his weekly sales. which solution generate each week in order for the option with commission to be the better choice?

Above $4375, commission would give him more money.

Step-by-step explanation:

Shawn has two salary options.

He can either receive a fixed salary of $750.00 per week sales or a salary of $400.00 per week plus an 8% commission of his weekly sales.

Let the sales be represented by y. We get the following equation to check when both gets equal.

=>

=>

y = 4375

y = $4375. At this much sales amount, either salary or commission would be the same.

Above $4375, commission would give him more money.

step-by-step explanation:

the largest number of the four options is 1.8 x 10-2

you have it in scientific notation.

1.80 x 10-6   = 0.00000180

1.80 x 10-4   = 0.000180 (bigger, or "less small", than the former one)

so

1.8 x 10-2       = 0.0180. as you see. the "less small", or the biggest one of them all.

as you have negative exponent, it means you are dividing 1.8 by 100 (i.e. moving the dot towards left, two times).

if you had positive exponent for the scientific notation, power of tenths, you would be multiplying times 100 (moving the dot towards right) as below:

1.8 x (10)2 = 180

so. if you have negative exponent in scientific notation, move the dot toward left. if it is positive, toward right as many times the exponent tells you.
