Given :

Weekly salary , S = $150.

Commission per car , C = $325.

To Find :

The the equation that models the weekly salary of a car salesman.

Solution :

We know it is a quadratic equation :

Let , the equation is , y = mx + c

Here, x is number of car sold in a week.

For x = 0 ( He will not get commission)

So , Salary is $150 = c .

For x = 1

Salary is $( 150 + 325 ) = $475 = m(1) + c

Therefore , m = $325 and c = $150.

Required linear equation is y = 325x + 150.

Hence, this is the required solution.
