Whatever% of anything is just (whatever/100) * anything.
now, we know Trever makes $500 in salary and 2% on sales, let's say he sells "x" amount, how much is 2% of x? well (2/100) * x, or 0.02x.
Therefore Trever's earnings are 500 + 0.02x, his salary plus his commission.
to earn a total of 2,000, then 500 + 0.02x = 2000, thus

Answer:
A. (–8, 2)
Step-by-step explanation:
(1) y = ½x + 6
(2) y = -¾x – 4 Set (1) = (2)
½x + 6 = -¾x – 4 Multiply each side by 4
2x + 24 = -3x – 16 Add 16 to each side
2x + 40 = -3x Subtract 2x from each side
40 = -5x Divide each side by -5
(3) x = -8 Substitute (2) into (1)
y = ½(-8) +6
= -4 + 6
= 2
The solution to the system of equations is (-8 ,2).
You can see the graphs of the two functions in the figure below. The two lines intersect at (-8, 2).
Check:
2 = ½(-8) + 6 2 = -¾(-8) - 4
2 = -4 +6 2 = 6 - 4
2 = 2 2 = 2
