A sales man is paid a basic wage of $225 per week. In addition he is paid a commission of 3% on the value of goods he sells above $5500 . How much commission will he be paid on sales amounting to$12500 and what are his earnings for that week

Commission = $375

Total earnings = $600

Step-by-step explanation:

He gets 3% of any sale he makes above %5500 which means his commission received on this sale is;

= 3% * $12500

= $12500

= 3* 125

= $375

This means his total earnings for the week will be the basic wage plus his commission

$225 + $375

= $600

x = -4

step-by-step explanation:

- 20 - 4(x + 3) = 4x

=> -20 - 4x - 12 = 4x

=> - 32 -4x = 4x

=> -32 = 4x + 4x

=> - 32 = 8x

=> -32/8 = x

=> -4 = x

y = 3x+4

step-by-step explanation:

to find the slope

slope = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

    = (-8-4)/ (-4-0)

    = -12/-4

  = 3

using the slope intercept form of a line

y= mx+b

we know the slope is 3

we know the y intercept is 4 ( the point where it crosses the y axis or x=0)

y = 3x+4
