Question

Natalie works in a department store selling clothing. She makes a guaranteed salary of $300 per week, but is paid a commision on top of her base salary equal to 30% of her total sales for the week. How much would Natalie make in a week in which she made $225 in sales? How much would Natalie make in a week if she made x x dollars in sales?

Answer 1

Answer:

$367.50 and y=0.3x+300

30% of 225 is 67.50 and her guaranteed salary is 300 so 300+67.50=$367.50.
