Answer 1

Given:

Salesman A earn = 65 per sale.

Salesman B earn = 40 per sales and 300weekly salary.

Salesman C earn = 900 weekly salary

Let "x" represent the number of sales each man

Salesman A earn is:

$y=65x$

Salesman B earn is:

$y=40x+300$$\begin{gathered} 65x=40x+300 \\ 65x-40x=300 \\ 25x=300 \\ x=\frac{300}{25} \\ x=12 \end{gathered}$

So total sales is 12 then.

S=0 For Zero week

$\begin{gathered} \text{Salesman A} \\ y=65x \\ y=0 \end{gathered}$$\begin{gathered} \text{Salesman B} \\ y=40x+300 \\ y=40(0)+300 \\ y=300 \end{gathered}$$\begin{gathered} \text{ Salesman C} \\ y=900 \end{gathered}$

For S=1

$\begin{gathered} \text{Salesman A:} \\ y=65x \\ y=65(1) \\ y=65 \\ \text{Salesman B}\colon \\ y=40x+300 \\ y=40(1)+300 \\ y=340 \\ \text{Salesman C:} \\ y=900 \end{gathered}$

For s=10

$\begin{gathered} \text{Salesman A:} \\ y=65x \\ y=65(10) \\ y=650 \\ \text{Salesman B:} \\ y=40x+300 \\ y=40(10)+300 \\ y=700 \\ \text{Salesman c:} \\ y=900 \end{gathered}$
