B. c = 15l; $2.66
C. c = 15l; $599.25
D. l = 15c; $599.25

Answer 1

Answer : C

the total commission (c) a sales associate receives if he sells 15 laptop computers (l)

Total commission = number of laptops * commission for each laptop

Total commission is c

number of laptops is 15

commission for laptop is l

C = 15 * I

So c= 15l

the commission for selling each computer is $39.95

c= 15l

c = 15 * 39.95 = 599.25
