A home appliance salesperson wants to earn a total of $4,000 next month including
base salary and commissions. He earns a base salary of $750 per month and earns a
20% commission for all sales in that month. How much money will he need to earn
from selling home appliances next month to reach his goal of $4,000 in earnings?
Show your work.

Let x = commissions

Let y = total earnings

y = 0.20x + $750. Plug your numbers in.

$4,000 = 0.20x + $750. Subtract 750 from each side.

$3250 = 0.20x. Divide each side by 0.20.

$16,250 = x.

The salesperson needs to sell $16,250 in commissions to earn $4,000 in total earnings each month

jacob, non hispanic white male. 30 years old.

probability that jacob lives to be 30 years old. 

since the given probabilities are probabilities of dying, i think we simply subtract it from 1 to get the probability of living. we will use the probability of non hispanic white male.

                                          probability of living to be 30 y.o.

29 - 30 : 1 - 0.001477 = 0.998523

30 - 31 : 1 - 0.001503 = 0.998497
