Answer 1

For this case, the first thing we must do is define a variable.
 We have then:
 x: total sales for the week
 We now write the equation that models the problem.
 We have then:
 p (x) = 0.035x + 300
 Answer:
 a function, p (x), which can be used to determine his pay for the week is:
 p (x) = 0.035x + 300
