Asked by Mike

Joe receives a base salary of $42,000 annually and a commission of 10% of the total sales he makes for the year. If Joe sales are $800,000 of goods. What is his total salary for the year?
Answered by Steve
42000 + 0.10 * 800000

However, if you are looking for a linear equation,

pay = 42000 + 0.10 * sales
