Question

Ed earns a $100 commission on each computer he sells plus a base salary of $50,000 . His total income last year was 75,000 . Which equation can be used to find how many computers Ed sold last year ? A. 50,000 + 100x = 75,000 B. 50,000 - 100 x = 75,000 C. 75,000 + 100x = 50,000

Answer 1

50,000 + 100x = 75,000

Explanation:

Given parameters

• Ed base salary = $50, 000

,

• Commission on each computer sells = $100

,

• Total income = $75,000

Let x be the number of computers sold

Total income = base salary + commission * number of cars sold

75000 = 50000 + 100* x

50,000 + 100x = 75, 000

Hence, the equation that can be used to find the number of cars sold is

50,000 + 100x = 75,000
