Respuesta :

base salary = $250

commission = 30% of total sales

[tex]\begin{gathered} In\text{ this case,} \\ \text{total sales = 2025} \\ \Rightarrow\text{ commission = }\frac{30}{100}\times2025=607.50 \end{gathered}[/tex]

commission = $607.50

Hence Chee would make = $250 + $607.50 = $857.50

In the next case,

total sales = x

therefore

[tex]\text{commission = }\frac{30}{100}\times x=0.3x[/tex]

Hence she made = 250 + 0.3x

That is she would make 250 + 0.3x dollars
