You are a sales rep for Williams’ Holdings Inc. and you make 9.5% commission on all sales. You typically have $27,000 in sales semi-monthly. You have a retirement plan that takes 5% of your pay and you have 0 PTO for vacation or sick days. However, you have decided to take 3 days for vacation off during the pay period. What is your net semi-monthly salary after the unpaid days off? ***Show work to receive partial/full credit. (ONLY TYPE NUMBERS, DECIMAL, $ for the ANSWERS)

Hint:
Step 1: Calculate the Yearly Salary.
Step 2: Calculate how much you make per day.
5 days a week * 52 weeks in a year = 260 wk days per year
Step 3: Calculate how much money is missed for taking days off WITHOUT pay.
Step 4: Calculate the gross semi-monthly pay with unpaid days off.
Step 5: Calculate the semi-monthly deductions.
Step 6: Calculate the net monthly pay.

Intersecting secant-tangent theorem states that if a tangent segment and a secant segment are drawn to a circle from an exterior point, then the square of the measure of the tangent segment is equal to the product of the measures of the secant segment and its external secant segment.so to break it down: 1. pq acts as the tangent and ps as the secant with an intersection at p.sr = 21rp = 3x + 3pq = 4x + 4following to equation: tangent squared = the two segments multiplied by each otherso (4x + 4) ^ 2 = (3x + 3) • (21) simplifies to 16x^2 - 31x - 47 = 0 or (16x - 47)(x + 1) x = -1 or x = 47/162. pq acts as the tangent and ps as the secant with an intersection at p (again! )sr = 16rp = xpq = 15(15) ^ 2 = 16 • x225 = 16xx = 225/163. the interesting chords are proportional to each other so a ratio is possible to set up: ap dp 10 3 + x = = —— = pc pb 8 xcross multiple to get 10x = (3 + x)(8)x = 12

The answer to the question is d
