Zoe is a salesperson who sells computers at an electronics store. She is paid a 1% commission for every computer sale she makes, and also makes a base pay each day regardless of sales. One day, Zoe sold $8000 worth of computers and was paid a total of $140 that day. Write an equation for the function P ( x ) , P(x), representing Zoe's total pay on a day on which she sells x x dollars worth of computers.

Given:

Zoe gets paid a 1% commission for every sale she makes in addition to base pay.

She sold $8,000 worth of computers on a day and made $140 that day.

To find:

A function P(x) representing total pay on a day where she sells x dollars worth of computers.

Solution:

To determine the function P(x) we need to determine how much Zoe's base pay per day is.

One day, she sold $8,000 worth of computers and made $140 that day.

She gets a commission of 1% for $8,000.

1% of $8,000

So she got paid $140 out of which $80 was a commission.

So her base pay

So Zoe's base pay is $60 a day.

P(x) is the sum of her base pay and 1% of the amount of computer sales she makes ($x).

So , where x is the computer sales she makes in dollars. P(x) is represented in dollars.

step-by-step explanation:

double number line is not a standard concept, so it must have been defined in your textbook. assume top line is numerator.

step-by-step explanation: the answer is 27. first multiply .32 by 25 which equals 8. then add 8 to 25 which gives you 33. then you subtract that from 6 since she gave 6 to her brother.
