Respuesta :
If w = earnings that week, and s = sales,
w - 450 = s/10, or
10(w - 450) = s, simplified as
10w - 4,500 = s
If the employee made $570 in one week, then w = 570.
10(570) - 4,500 = s, simplified as
5,700 - 4,500 = s, simplified as
1,200 = s.
So the employee made 1,200 sales that week.
Answer:
Weekly earning of employee, E(w) is given by 450+0.1w, where w is the weekly sales.
Weekly sales for that week = 1200 $
Step-by-step explanation:
A phone store employee earns a salary of $450 per week plus 10% commission on her weekly sales.
Let w be the weekly sales, the weekly earning of employee, E(w) is given by
[tex]E(w)=450+\frac{10}{100}\times w=450+0.1w[/tex]
So
Weekly earning of employee, E(w) is given by 450+0.1w, where w is the weekly sales.
Now we need to find what was the amount of her sales for that week, if she earned 570 $
That is
570 = 450+0.1w
0.1 w = 570 - 450 = 120
w = 1200 $
Weekly sales = 1200 $
