Question

Jonathan makes $27 per hour and works 25 hours per week. Every week, he has to sell 20 items. If he sells more than 20 items in a week, he receives a commission of 14% on each set of additional 5 items he sells. This week he worked for 25 hours, he sold 25 items, and he made $1,000 in sales beyond the required 20 items. Which equation will help Jonathan to compute this week’s income?

Answer 1

Answer:

y = ($25 × 27) + (0.14 × $1000)

Step-by-step explanation:

Jonathan works per week = 25 hours

He gets pay per hour = $25

His commission is 14% on each set of additional 5 items over the sale of 20 items.

This week he worked 25 hours and sold 25 items.

The  amount of sale over 20 items = $1000

Let the total earning represents by 'y'

Total earning = (per hour pay × worked hours) + (14% × amount of 5 sets over 20 items)

Now the equation would be

y = ($25 × 27) + (0.14 × $1000)

Answer 2

Answer:

$\frac{14}{100}*x$=325

Step-by-step explanation:

Per hour he makes =  $ 27

Total work in week = 25

Total items to sell in week = 20

commission on 5 upper items = 14 %

This week Items sold = 25

More items sold =5 so 14 % commission on those items

let x be the price of those items

let y be total earning

commission value will be= 14 % of x

total earning = total sales + commission

1000 = (27 * 25) + (14% of x)

1000 = 675 + $\frac{14}{100}*x$

$\frac{14}{100}*x$ = 1000-675

$\frac{14}{100}*x$=325

So this will be equation he requires to compute his income
