Question

A salesman receives a fixed salary of $500 per week. In addition he is paid 12% of all sales over $1000. Write the formula that describes how his weekly salary, s, depends on his weekly revenue, r. (The revenue is the amount of money he collects by selling the goods.)

Answer 1

s = 500 + 0.12(r-1000) if s > 1000
s = 500 if s <= 1000

Answer 2

A salesman receives a weekly salary of $450. In addition, $20 is paid for every item sold in excess of 200 items. How much extra is received from the sale of 214 items ?

Answer 3

On a week when his revenue is greater than $1000
s(r) = 500+0.12(r-1000)

On a week when his revenue is not greater than $1000
s(r)= 500

Answer 4

hi

Answer 5

If r>1000, s(r)=500+0.12r
If r≤1000, s(r)=500
