Question

Kara used the linear model y=20000+0.3x to predict her total salary from achieving total sales of x .what is her base salary? what percent commission does she earn

Answer 1

If you would like to know what is Kara's base salary and what percent commission does she earn, you can find this using the following steps:

y = 20000 + 0.3 * x
her base salary: 20000
her percent commission: 0.3 = 30%

The correct result would be 20000 and 30%.

Answer 2

Her base salary is 20000.

The percent of commission is 30%: 30% * x = (30/100) * x = 30 * x/100 =

= 0.3 * x = 0.3x

So the total salay is the base salary + the commissions = 20000 + 0.3x
