Percentage of commission received by the salesperson = 2.5%
Amount of sales made by the salesperson = $8000
Then
The amount of commission received by the salesperson = (2.5/100) * 8000 dollars
= 2.5 * 80 dollars
= 200 dollars
So the salesperson receives a commission of $200 on the total sales made. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand. You can use this method in future for solving similar problems without requiring any help from outside.

Thus,

and

Therefore, the linearlized form of the equation is y = 9.234 - 2.12x
Part B:
At x = 1.6,
Well lets start by getting y. We already know that all angles of a triangle will equal 180 degrees.
Therefore we know that 65 + 65 + y = 180. To solve for y we just add the two 65's then subtract that from 180
y = 180-130 = 50 Therefore y = 50
Now lets solve for x. We know that since angle B is flat it is equal to 180. The unknown value of angle B = 180 - 65
Therefore that unknown value = 115
As we previously stated all angles of a triangle equal 180. We can now come up with this equation: 115 + x + x = 180
2x = 65
x = 32.5
