Answer:

None of these

Explanation:

A function describing Victoria's commission for total sales over $2000 could be ...

f(s) = 0.10×2000 +0.15×(s -2000)

f(x) = 0.15s -100 . . . . simplify

Then for a commission of 1800, her sales must be ...

1800 = 0.15s -100

1900 = 0.15s

1900/0.15 = s = 12,666.67 . . . . matches none of the choices
