Question

Rachel works at an electronics store in a shopping mall. Her base pay is$1000 a month. Rachel also receives a commission of 2% of her salestotal. The linear model that gives Rachel's total monthly pay, y, in terms ofsales total, x, is y = 0.02x + 1000. Use the model to find Rachel's monthlypay for sales totaling $25,000.

Answer 1

the total sale is 25000 $

the equation of pay is

y = 0.02x + 1000

here x = sales

put x = 25000

y = 0.02 * 25000 + 1000

y = 500 + 1000

y = 1500 $

so her total pay is 1500 $.
