Question

I=0.13x+1025 A textbook salesperson's monthly income depends on the amount of his sales. His monthly income is a salary of $1025 $ ⁢ 1025 plus 13% 13 % of his monthly sales. Write a linear equation for his monthly income for sales of x dollars. ( I=mx+b I = m x + b ).

Answer 1

l = 0.13x+1025

Explanation:

Let the monthly sales be x

Monthly income = $1025 + 13% of monthly sales

Monthly income = $1025 + 0.13x

Since l represent the monthly income

l = 1025+0.13x

Rearrange

l = 0.13x + 1025

Hence the linear equation representing the statement is l = 0.13x+1025
