Please help me with this question!!!

Enter your answer as a formula including "P(q)="
(do not include the dollar sign)

Answer 1

Explanation:

Charlie's monthly pay, P, can be represented as a linear function of the number of items sold, q. The monthly salary of $2,000 represents the y-intercept of the line, and the commission of $100 per item sold represents the slope of the line.

Thus, the model for Charlie's monthly pay, P(q), can be expressed as:

P(q) = 100q + 2000

where q is the number of items sold in a month, and P(q) is Charlie's monthly pay in dollars.
