Answer:

The equation that represents Samantha's total pay as  a function of her total sales is B.  y = 0.2x + 325

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

             Total Sales   Total Pay

Week 1     $ 500           $ 425

Week 2      $ 350            $ 395

2. Let's find out the equation that represents Samantha's total pay as

a function of her total sales, this way:

Week 1:

A) y = 0.6x + 125  = 0.6 * 500 + 125 = 300 + 125 = 425 Correct

B) y = 0.2x + 325  = 0.2 * 500 + 325 = 100 + 325 = 425 Correct

C) y = 1.6x - 95 = 1.6 * 500 - 95 = 800 - 95 = 705 Incorrect

Week 2:

A) y = 0.6x + 125  = 0.6 * 350 + 125 = 210 + 125 = 335 Incorrect

B) y = 0.2x + 325  = 0.2 * 350 + 325 = 70 + 325 = 395 Correct

C) y = 1.6x -95 = 1.6 * 350 - 95 = 560 - 95 = 465 Incorrect

The equation that represents Samantha's total pay as  a function of her total sales is B.  y = 0.2x + 325
