his total sales for the week. How much would Grayson make in a week in which he
made $925 in sales? How much would Grayson make in a week if he made x dollars
in sales?

Respuesta :

Step-by-step explanation:

a) $350 per week

20% commission on sales

For $925 in sales, commission is

20/100 × 925 = $185

Total earning = $350 + $185 = $535

b) For $x in sales, commission is

20/100 × x = 1/5 × x = x/5 or 0.2x

Total earnings = $350 + $ x/5 or $350 + $0.2x
