Adam calculates his annual salary base pay commission, y, using the model y=0.28x+38,000, where x represents his total sales for the year.

if Adam made 45,000 total annual salary how much was his total sales

1 answer

To find out how much Adam's total sales were, we need to substitute the given total annual salary of $45,000 into the equation and solve for x:

$45,000 = 0.28x + $38,000

Subtract $38,000 from both sides of the equation:

$45,000 - $38,000 = 0.28x

$7,000 = 0.28x

Divide both sides of the equation by 0.28:

$7,000 / 0.28 = x

x = $25,000

Therefore, Adam's total sales for the year was $25,000.
