Dennis Hampton earns a straight com- mission of 7% on sales of $5,000 or less
and 9% on sales in excess of $5,000. One
week Dennis had a gross pay of $578.
What were his total sales for that week?

Denis's total sales that week were $ 6,422.22.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Dennis Hampton earns a straight commission of 7% on sales of $ 5,000 or less and 9% on sales in excess of $ 5,000, if one week Dennis had a gross pay of $ 578, to determine what were his total sales for that week the following calculations must be performed:

7 = 578

100 = X

100 x 578/7 = X

57,800 / 7 = X

8,257.14 = X

9 = 578

100 = X

100 x 578/9 = X

57.800 / 9 = X

6,422.22 = X

Therefore, Denis's total sales that week were $ 6,422.22.

step-by-step explanation:

i think something is missing in your question because y-1=(x-12) would not pass through the point (-4,-3). because if you replace x by -4 your are supposed to find y=-3 which is not the case her. if you replace x by -4 you find =-15.

i assume the right equation is y-1=1/4*(x-12) because this one is passing through both your points (if you are interested to know how i found that out i can tell you).

in this equation if i replace x by -4 i find y=-3 and if i replace x by 12, i find y=1 so the line representing this equation is passing through those 2 points.

then the standard form of the equation is finding an expression of y in function of x

y-1=1/4*(x-12)

y=x/4-3+1

y=x/4-2

hope that .

do you confirm there was a mistake in the question?
