Cora is a saleswoman who earned a base pay of $58,400 and was paid commission of 11% for each knife set she sold. If x represents total sales in dollars, then which of the following equations best represents Cora's total pay in dollars?
A. y = 58400 + 0.011x
B. y = 58400x + 0.11
C. y = 58400 + 11x
D. y = 58400 + 0.11x

Respuesta :

D. y=58400 + 0.11x. Bcuz $58,400 is the base pay plus 11% of the total sales represents Cora's total pay

Answer: D . [tex]\text{y}=58,400+0.11x[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Base pay of saleswoman :  $58,400

Commission percentage : 11% =0.11

Let x represents total sales in dollars.

Now, Cora's total pay in dollars is given by :-

[tex]\text{Total pay}=58,400+0.11x[/tex]

Hence, the equations best represents Cora's total pay in dollars will be:-

[tex]\text{y}=58,400+0.11x[/tex]
