Answer 1

Answer:

C : A salesperson earns $50 plus $10 for every $100 of merchandise he sells.

Step-by-step explanation:

If a salesperson earns $50 plus $10 for every $100 of merchandise he sells, the rate of change is 100. The linear equation is T = 50 + 100h, where T is the total amount he earns and h is the number of $100 in merchandise he sells.
