A. y = 58400 + 0.011x
B. y = 58400x + 0.11
C. y = 58400 + 11x
D. y = 58400 + 0.11x

Answer 1

D. y=58400 + 0.11x. Bcuz $58,400 is the base pay plus 11% of the total sales represents Cora's total pay

Answer 2

Answer: D .
`\text{y}=58,400+0.11x`

Explanation:

Given : Base pay of saleswoman : $58,400

Commission percentage : 11% =0.11

Let x represents total sales in dollars.

Now, Cora's total pay in dollars is given by :-

`\text{Total pay}=58,400+0.11x`

Hence, the equations best represents Cora's total pay in dollars will be:-

`\text{y}=58,400+0.11x`
