Question

anderson earns $200.00 a week plus 15% commission on all sales over 1000 dollar. if andersons sales for the week a $2500 what is his gross for the week

Answer 1

Since he gets 200 no matter what, we can write the equation G=.15x+200. when x=2500, we can just plug it in. if we do this we get G=.15(2500)+200. solve this and you find that he grossed $575
