Salary relationships usually have behaviors that can be expressed through mathematical equations, for this case we must locate the information they give us, according to which the salary of the movie star S is equal to a fixed basic remuneration b plus a percentage x of the gross income g, that is:

S = b + gx

With this equation and the data they give us, we can solve the request so :

\boldsymbol{1)} \; 32 = b + 100x\\\boldsymbol{2)} \; 24 = b + 60x

We clear the basic remuneration  b from the second equation and replace in the first:

\boldsymbol{2)} \; 24 = b + 60x\\24-60x = b\\\boldsymbol{1)} \; 32 = b + 100x\\32 = (24-60x) + 100x\\32-24=100x-60x\\8=40x\\\frac{8}{40} =x\\\boldsymbol{x=0,2}\\b=24-60x\\b=24-60(0,2)\\b=24-12\\\boldsymbol{b=12}

Thus, with the fixed basic remuneration and the percentage of gross income calculated, we can estimate how much the following film should obtain so that the movie star obtains at least  40 millions salary:

40 = g (0.2) +12\\40-12 = g (0.2)\\\frac{28}{0.2y} = g\\\boldsymbol{g = 140}

Answer

The <em>minimum amount</em> of gross income that the next film should generate is \$ 140 <em>millions</em>

Answer:

$140 MN

Explanation:

Salary = %age of Gross Revenue + Fixed amount

For A:

32 = x% of 100 + y

For B:

24 = x% of 60 + y

Subtracting A and B

8 = x% of 40

x = 20%

Solve for y:

24 = 20% x 60 + y

y = $ 12 MN

So to make at least $40 million on her next film:

40 = 20% of x + 12

x = 140 MN

Explanation:

The first instrument of effective sales is an establish relationship. If a customers visits a restaurant to buy food and does not feel welcomed, the tendency to return back another time is very slim. Hnece, taking the scenerio in questions,the employees do not have the right attitude for keepiing their customers loyal to their product irrespective of whether the product is good or bad.

This invariably implies loosing the customer and the chain of connections such customer would have brought to the restaurant.

In summary, having the right employees with good customer relationship and chefs with good food recipes and quality is likely to result in the restaurant experiencing an increase in sales
