We have been given that works at Silly's and makes $33.19 an hour. He also collects a 5.3% commission on final weekly sales. If he works over 40 hours during any week, he earns double his hourly wage.

Peter's hourly charges during 1st and 2nd week would be $33.19 and hourly charges during 3rd and 4th week would be 2 times $33.19.

First of all, we will find total hourly income as:

$\text{Total hourly income}=\$33.19(30+40)+2\times \$33.19(49+55)$

$\text{Total hourly income}=\$33.19(70)+\$66.38(104)$

$\text{Total hourly income}=\$2323.3+\$6903.52$

$\text{Total hourly income}=\$9226.82$

Now, we will find income from commission on sales as:

$\text{Income from commission on sales}=\frac{5.3}{100}(4500+5500+3800+6800)$

$\text{Income from commission on sales}=0.053(20600)$

$\text{Income from commission on sales}=1091.8$

Peter's total earnings is the last month: $\$9226.82+\$1091.8=\$10,318.62$

Therefore, Peter's total earnings in last month was $10,318.62.

What is the equation of the line in slope intercept form? ILL MARK BRANLIEST ANSWER

lianna [129]

two points are (0,0) and (100, -800)

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) = (-800-0)/(100-0) = -8

point slope form of the line is

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

y-0 = -8 (x-0)

y=-8x

this is in slope intercept form now

y=-8x
