Answer:
$6,291.70
Step 1:
To find the monthly salary for somebody who sells $75,834 in cars, we need to first multiply that by 0.05, or 5%, since 0.05 has to get multiplied by s (sales) in the equation they provide us. We don't do anything with $2,500 (yet).
One of the options for our answer shows 3,791.7, but we are not finished with solving this problem, so 3,791.7 is not our answer.
Step 2:
After completing step 1, Superb Auto already provides new salespeople with $2,500. This means that whatever they sell (or don't sell), they would still get that $2,500. In step 1, we found out that our first number that replaces 0.05<em>s</em> is 3791.7, so we just have to add that to 2,500 to get our final answer.
Our final answer is $6,291.70, and that is the third option on our list of choices.
The graph is attached below.
In order to find the y-intercept, check the graph and see where it hits the y-axis, so in this case the y-intercept would be at (0,6).
To find the x-intercept, check the graph and see where it hits the x-axis, and here it hits at x = -6.
