Question

Answer 1

Answer:

C) $573.75

Step-by-step explanation:

We can come up with the equation of this Gross Weekly pay as:

$P(t)=11.25t+0.045S$

Where P is the amount Larry will get paid, t is the time worked and S is the amount of sales he generated that week.  This was derived from the fact that 11.25 is the slope and 0.045S is the y-intercept.  By plugging in those values we have:

$P(35)=11.25(35)+0.045(4000)=573.75$

C) $573.75
