y = base + 100 s/1000
2300 = base + 100 (5000)/1000
2300 = base + 500
base = 1800
y = 1800 + 100(7500)/1000
y = 1800 + 750
y = 2550
A salesman working at a furniture store receives a monthly base salary plus a commission of $100 for each $1000 of furniture sales.
If the value of furniture sold is $5000 he receives a monthly salary of $2300.
How much is his monthly salary if the value of furniture solid is $7500?
I'm not even sure how to begin to set this up to solve??
