For the following scenario, develop an equation and a set of 5 ordered pairs for equation:


1. the amount a sales person earns is a flat rate plus commission.

2. the volume of fuel in a snowmobiles tank related the distance travelled.

3. the cost of a hotel room is a flat fee plus a fee per adult occupant.

evidently you have not spent the intervening time studying the problems.

#1
A flat rate is just that: a constant amount, say $25

A commission is a certain amount, say $50 for every sale. So, for x sales, he would earn 50x

so, his total earnings are 25 + 50x

#3 is just like #1

#2 is the same, but the flat amount is the starting fuel load, and for each mile, a bit is subtracted. Let's say the full tank holds 20 gallons, and the machine gets 15 mpg. That is, each mile uses 1/15 gallon of gas. So, after x miles, you might have

20 - x/15
