Studdy Solution
Express the total earnings for x x dollars in sales:
Total Earnings=Base Salary+Commission \text{Total Earnings} = \text{Base Salary} + \text{Commission} Total Earnings=500+(0.30×x) \text{Total Earnings} = 500 + (0.30 \times x)
The solutions are:
Total earnings when selling \$775: \[ 500 + (0.30 \times 775) = 500 + 232.5 = 732.5 \]
Total earnings when selling x x dollars: 500+(0.30×x) 500 + (0.30 \times x)
