Question

Mark works at a popular electronics retail store. He earns a fixed income of $18 an hour and a 5% commission on the sales he makes. Let's say, y = earnings h = number of hours worked s = amount of sales Which of these equations correctly indicates how much Mark earns in a day?

Answer 1

y=18h+0.05s, 18 dollars per hour plus 0.05 per sales will give you the earnings Mark earns a day.

Answer 2

Mark earns in a day is y = 18h + 0.05s .

Explanation:

As given

Mark works at a popular electronics retail store.

He earns a fixed income of $18 an hour and a 5% commission on the sales he makes.

As given

y = earnings .

h = number of hours worked

s = amount of sales

5% is written in the decimal form.

`= (5)/(100)`

= 0.05

Mark earns through commission = 0.05 × s

= 0.05s

Mark earns h working hours = 18h

Thus

Total earning of the mark = Mark earns h working hours + Mark earns through commission .

Put the value

y = 18h + 0.05s

Therefore the Mark earns in a day is y = 18h + 0.05s .
