Question

Adam earns a base pay plus a commission for each car he sells at Crazy Carl's Cool Cars. His monthly salary is modeled by the function f(c) = 250c + 500. If Adam doesn't sell a car, how much money does he earn for the month?

Answer 1

if assume c is commission,and monthly salary function is f(c)=250c+500, so if he doesn't sell anything in month he earn f(0)=250(0)+500=500

Answer 2

Answer: 500

Step-by-step explanation:

Since,  The monthly salary is modeled by the function,

f(c) = 250 c + 500.

According to the question,

Adam earns a base pay plus a commission for each car he sells at Crazy Carl's Cool Cars.

In the given function c is a variable.

Thus, c must show the number of cars.

Thus, the base pay must be free from any variable.

In the above expression 500 is free from the variable c therefore, 500 is the base pay of Adam.

⇒ f(c) is the total earning by Adam after selling a car.

If he Does not sell any car then c=0,

f(0) = 250×0+500 = 500

Therefore, if he does not sell any car then his earning is 500.
