Answer:

X=$5,000

Explanation:

You can write an equation in slope-intercept to find an answer.

y=0.2x+1000, 20% commission is the slope and the base pay is the y-intercept.

Now, just plug in 2,000 for y.

2,000=0.2x+1,000, subtract 1,000.

1000=0.2x, Multiply by 5 to get x by itself.

x = 5,000

Hope this helped youuuuu
