what was luis's total pay last week?

Here’s some help. The total amount that Luis earned from last weeks sales is equal to the sum of the base pay and the commission. This is expressed in the equation,

T = B + C

where T is total pay, B is the base pay, and C is the commission. Commission is known to be 14\% of A which is the amount sold.

T = B + 0.14A

Substituting the known values,

T = ($150) + 0.14($6050)

Simplifying,

T = $995

The answer to this item is $995.
