Answer:

$6,291.70

Step 1:

To find the monthly salary for somebody who sells $75,834 in cars, we need to first multiply that by 0.05, or 5%, since 0.05 has to get multiplied by s (sales) in the equation they provide us. We don't do anything with $2,500 (yet).


75,834*0.05=3791.70

One of the options for our answer shows 3,791.7, but we are not finished with solving this problem, so 3,791.7 is not our answer.

Step 2:

After completing step 1, Superb Auto already provides new salespeople with $2,500. This means that whatever they sell (or don't sell), they would still get that $2,500. In step 1, we found out that our first number that replaces 0.05s is 3791.7, so we just have to add that to 2,500 to get our final answer.


3791.7+2500=6291.7

Our final answer is $6,291.70, and that is the third option on our list of choices.

Answer:

$6,291.70

Step-by-step explanation:

You're given the equation and you're given an x-value; 75,834. Just plug it in to get m = 2500 + 0.05(75,834) = 2500 + 3791.70 = 6,291.70.
