Jane gets a 12% commission based on the amount of shoes she sells. If her commission for one particular day was $240, how much did she sell that day?

$240 = 12% of sales

$240 = (0.12) x (Sales)

Divide each side by 0.12 . . . . . Sales  =  ($240/0.12)  =  $2,000

That'sa lotta shoes !

step-by-step explanation:

here's what happens:

1) the graph of f   = x^2 is shifted 2 units to the right.

2) the resulting graph is reflected in the x-axis, so that the parabola now opens down.

3) this final result is transformed up by 5 units.

0.16 or 16%

step-by-step explanation:

lets take a coin for example.

if you toss it twice, it has a 1/4 chance of landing on heads both times because 1/2 * 1/2 is 1/4.

with the cards, the chance of picking dog is 0.4. having two people pick one is like picking a card twice in a row. so 0.4 * 0.4 is 0.16, or 16%
