First we must construct an equation to model the problem. (In this case we will use an inequality instead) This is what I came up with:
         450.20+0.15s>=600.10

This equation shows how if her base earnings ($450.20) are added to 15% of her sales, represented by s, then the total will be greater than or equal to $600.10
Next, we simply solve for s. (steps shown below)

1) 450.20+0.15s>=600.10 (simply restating the inequality)
2) 0.15s>=149.90 (here I isolated the variable)
3)0.15s/0.15>=149.90/0.15 (Finally I solve for s by dividing both sides by 0.15, this will isolate s on the left and leave the answer on the right)
4) s>=999.33... (here I found the total sales the salesperson would need to reach his/her goal of earning a minimum of $600.10; the 3's after the decimal are repeating so in the next step I will round up to the nearest hundredth (b/c this is what money is rounded to and if I round down he/she would make less than her goal. This means i must round up.))
5) s>=999.34 (simple rounding; once again I rounded up b/c rounding down would slightly bring the total earnings to less than the goal)

<u>Therefore, the salesperson would need his/her sales to be $999.34 in order for his/her total earnings for the week to be at least $600.10</u> (greater than or equal to $600.10)

<u>Hope this helped!</u>

Answer:

  f(0) = 12 . . . only

Step-by-step explanation:

We don't know your intended meaning of "fo)". If it is supposed to be f(0), that is the value of the function at x=0, in other words, the y-intercept.

The graph of f(x) crosses the y-axis at y=12, so ...

  f(0) = 12

First, change 771 to an easier number such as 770.
Then, multiply 770 by 50 which would be 38500.
The refrigerators would cost approximately $38,500.
