Question

i need help with this question please parts 1 and 2

Answer 1

Solution:

Given:

$\begin{gathered} Base\text{ salary}=\text{ \ }600 \\ commission=13\text{ \%}=\frac{13}{100}=0.13 \end{gathered}$

Part A:

The linear function S(x) is given by;

$S(x)=600+0.13x$

Part B:

S(6000) is when x = 6000, the weekly salary is;

$\begin{gathered} S(x)=600+0.13x \\ S(6000)=600+0.13(6000) \\ S(6000)=600+780 \\ S(6000)=\text{ \ }1380 \end{gathered}$

The interpretation:

The sales person's weekly salary when a sales of $6,000 was made is $1,380
