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.

x + y = 90 5x – 10y = 90 90 – 10y = 5x 90 + 10y = 5x

step-by-step explanation:

last month maria hiked the 5-mile mountain trail a number of times and she hiked the 10-mile canal trail several times. let x represent the number of times she hiked the 5-mile trail, and let y represent the number of times she hiked the 10-mile trail. if she hiked a total of 90 miles, which equation can be used to find the number of times maria hiked each trail? x + y = 90 5x – 10y = 90 90 – 10y = 5x 90 + 10y = 5x

answer4 to the second power is 16
