the salesperson earns a fixed cost of $ 30 plus 2/9th of his sales
we have to find how many sales he gets to earn $ 100 for one day
so lets say that the number of sales for the day - x sales
and he earns 2/9th of his sales
therefore amount he earns for x sales is -
this value plus his fixed earnings of $ 30 per day
so the amount he earns is 2x/9 + 30
this equals $ 100
so we can write the following equation
2x = 70 * 9
2x = 630
x = 315
so the amount of sales he earns for that day is 315 sales
So for this you will be using an exponential equation, which is with a=initial value, b=growth/decay, y = total balance, and x = # of years
In this case, a = 500, and since with this problem the initial value is growing, you will add 100% to 6% to get 106%, or 1.06. The equation will be formed as such:
With this problem, just plug in 15 into x and solve for y:
In short, after 15 years Tom will have $1198.28 in his account.
