Question

A salesperson at an electronics store earns $42,000 annually plus $150 in commission for every product sold. Write an equation that represents the salesperson's total amount earned every year, y, when x products are sold.

Answer 1

`y= 42000+ 150x`

Explanation:

Given data

Annual earning= $42,000

commission= $150 per product

Let the number of product sold for the year be x

and let the total earnings be y

Hence the expression for the total earning for the year is

`y= 42000+ 150x`
