Answer 1

Ted's salary is defined as;

Salary = 5000 + 0.60x

Where x = sales above 8000.

Therefore, when his sales is > 8000, then

x = sales - 8000.

x = 12000 - 8000

x = 4000

Therefore;

`\begin{gathered} \text{Salary which is s equals;} \\ s=5000+0.6x \\ s=5000+0.6(4000) \\ s=5000+2400 \\ s=7400 \end{gathered}`

Ted's gross salary is $7,400
