Algebra.Com's Answer #724473 by Theo(13342) You can put this solution on YOUR website! for every 8 pairs that she sells, she gets 16 dollars.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "47/8 = 5 rounded down to the nearest integer.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "she would get 5 * 16 = 80 dollars for selling 5 sets of 8 pairs of shoes.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "in addition, she makes 5 dollar for every pair of shoes she sells.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "she would make an additional 5 * 47 = 235 dollars for selling 47 pairs of shoes.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "235 + 80 = 315 dollars total compensation.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "this assumes that, when she sells her 8th pair of shoes, she gets the 5 dollars for selling another pair of shoes plus she gets 16 dollars for selling an 8th pair of shoes.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "every 8th pair of shoes would then rn her 5 dollars plus 16 dollars = 21 dollars.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "if, on the other hand, you assume that the 8th pair of shoes gets her 16 dollars and she does not get the additional 5 dollars for that 8th pair of shoes, then she would have to deduct 5 * 5 = 25 dollars from the total.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "this means she would make 290 dollars instead of 315 dollars.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the sequence of how much she makes every pair of shoes she sells is shown in the following two excel spreadsheet printouts.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the first printout takes you up to 29 pairs of shoes.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the second printout takes you from 30 to 47 plus shows you the total money earned.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \r\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \r\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
