Question

William is a salesperson who sells computers at an electronics store. He makes a base pay of $100 each day and then is paid a $10 commission for every computer sale he makes. Write an equation for the function P ( x ) , P(x), representing William's total pay on a day on which he sells x x computers.

Answer 1

Answer:P(x) = 10x + 100

Explanation:

Let x represent the number of computers that William sold on a particular day.

Let the function, P(x) represent the total pay on a day on which he sells x computers.

He makes a base pay of $100 each day and then is paid a $10 commission for every computer sale he makes. If he sells x computers on a particular day, then the equation for the function P( x ) would be

P(x) = 10x + 100
