Question

Part A Sales associates at an electronics store earn different commission percentages based on the items they sell. The table shows the total sales and commission earnings for four sales associates at the electronics store last month Create a model that can be used to estimate the commission earnings, c, of a sales associate who has d dollars of total sa Enter your model in the box provided Electronics Store Sales and Commissions Total Sales Commission Eamings $673 $22 $1.298 $37 $3.277 $101 $5 180 $150

Answer 1

We can solve this problem using software to find the model to estimate the commissions.

Using the table given by the table in the problem

The commission earnings will be represented by the letter "c" and the total sales as "d".

Introducing these values to any graphing software we get a graph of total sales vs. commissions:

On the horizontal axis we have "d" and on the vertical axis "c", the commissions. Now using the software we find the equation or the model that represents the relationship between c and d:

the model is:

$c=0.029d+2.0073$

We can round the values to:

$c=0.03d+2$

Answer:

$c=0.029d+2.0073$

Or rounded for estimations:

$c=0.03d+2$
