To find Carissa's salary when she sells $1,900 worth of merchandise, we can use the salary function provided:

s(x) = 0.24x + 300

Here, 'x' represents the amount of merchandise sold.

Substituting x = $1,900 into the function:

s(1900) = 0.24 * 1900 + 300

s(1900) = 456 + 300

s(1900) = 756

Therefore, when Carissa sells ${\textsf{1,900 worth of merchandise, her salary will be}} $756.
