Question

Answer 1

Total earned with $225 sales = $233.75

Total earned with x sales = 0.15x+200

Explanation:

Given that:

Base salary of Leah per week = $200

Commission paid = 15%

Sales made by Leah = $225

Commission = 15% of 225

Commission =
`(15)/(100) * 225`

Commission = 0.15 * 225

Commission = $33.75

Total earned = 200 + 33.75 = $233.75

Commission when sales are x

Commission = 0.15x

Total earned = 0.15x+200

Hence,

Total earned with $225 sales = $233.75

Total earned with x sales = 0.15x+200
