If you put them into to proportion
156/400 and then put a variable for the unknown x/1200
1200 divided by 400 = 3
156 times 3 = 468
468 order salad out of 1200
(3, -2) satisfies both equations. 3-2=1, and -3-2=-5.
Answer:
Total compensation = 600 + 0.04 * s and a total last month of $1200
(which agrees with the second answer shown in the provided list)
Step-by-step explanation:
Total compensation comes from the addition of base salary ($600) plus 4% (0.04) of the sales (s). That means:
Total compensation = 600 + 0.04 * s
and since last month he brought $15000 in sales, he got from sales:
0.04 * 15000 = $600
which added to the base salary gives:
$600 + $600 = $1200
So, a line parallel to <span>y - 5x = 10, will have the same slope as that equation, so what is that slope anyway? let's solve for "y".

alrite, so the slope is 5 then, well, then the parallel line will have the same slope.
so, we're really looking for the equation of a line whose slope is 5 and runs through 3,10.

M 7=280. you just multiply 7 by 40 to get your answer. i am pretty sure.
