Q: Find Jeff's total earnings if his sales are$948.

His total earnings for sales of $948 is $425.84

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the percentage of his commission be a percentage with its value represented as x and b be his base salary , y as his total earnings

So we have;

y = x% of sales + base salary

for 849 sales and 417.92 , we have

417.92 = 8.49x + b •••••••(i)

for 1011 sales and 430.88 servings

430.88 = 10.11x + b ••••••(ii)

Subtract i from ii

12.96 = 1.62x

x = 12.96/1.62

x = 8

To get b, we substitute

430.88 = 10.11(8) + b

b = 430.88 - 10.11(8) = 350

Commission is 8% , base earnings is $350

So for total sales of 948;

y = 8% of 948 + 350

y = $425.84

)=(3)(6x)+(3)(−9)+−8(distribute)

7x+8x+2=18x+−27+−8

(7x+8x)+(2)=(18x)+(−27+−8)(combine like terms)

15x+2=18x+−35

15x+2=18x−35

tep 2: subtract 18x from both sides.

15x+2−18x=18x−35−18x

−3x+2=−35

step 3: subtract 2 from both sides.

−3x+2−2=−35−2

−3x=−37

step 4: divide both sides by -3.
