Answer:

a. Income = $408.75

b. Income = $300 + $0.05x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Salary = $300 weekly

Commission = 5% of total sales

Solving (a): When total sales = $2175

To calculate his total income, we make use of...

Income = Salary + 5% * Total Sales

[tex]Income = \$300 + 5\% * \$2175[/tex]

[tex]Income = \$300 + \$108.75[/tex]

[tex]Income = \$408.75[/tex]

Solving (b): When total sales = $x

Income = Salary + 5% * Total Sales

[tex]Income = \$300 + 5\% * \$x[/tex]

Convert % to decimal

[tex]Income = \$300 + 0.05 * \$x[/tex]

[tex]Income = \$300 + \$0.05x[/tex]
