Answer 2

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Ron paid $1500 every month, with a bonus of $100 for every tractor that he sells.

For how this is worded, we can think that he is paid a fixed amount of $1500 and another $100 for each tractor that he sold, so if he sold 2 tractors, he will get $1500 + 2*$100 = $1700

The equation that models this is:

Y = $100*x + $1500

where x is the number of tractors that he sells, so the correct option is A.
