A linear function is a function that changes at a constant rate.

  • David would make $325 if he made $1500 in sales,
  • He would make 250 + 0.05x if he made $x in sales

The given parameters are:

  • Flat Salary = $250 weekly
  • Commission= 5%

A linear function is represented as:

[tex]C(x) = b + mx[/tex]

Where:

  • b represents the y-intercept
  • m represents the slope

So, we have:

[tex]C(x) = 250 + 5\% \times x[/tex]

Express 5% as decimal

[tex]C(x) = 250 + 0.05 \times x[/tex]

[tex]C(x) = 250 + 0.05x[/tex]

On a sale of $1500, the equation becomes

[tex]C(x) = 250 + 0.05 \times 1500[/tex]

[tex]C(x) = 325[/tex]

Hence. David would make $325 if he made $1500 in sales, and he would make 250 + 0.05x if he made $x in sales
