Courtney works at the local shoe store and receives $150 a week plus 3% of all sales over $1000. This week her sales were $3200.
schepotkina [342]

The equation you would use to find her earning for the week would be:

y=0.03(x-1000)+150

This would mean she made $66 from commissions and $216 total.

Follow the directions to solve the system of equations by elimination.
Ber [7]
8x + 7y = 39
4x - 14y = -68

(multiply each term in second equation by -2)

8x + 7y = 39
-8x + 28y = 136

(add both equations)

35y = 175

(divide both sides by 35)

y = 5

(substitute value of y in one of the equations)

8x + 7(5) = 39
8x + 35 = 39
8x = 4
x = 1/2
(x, y) = (1/2, 5)
