Answer 1

Equation for the monthly wage will be → W = 0.07S + 5000

   Given in the question,

• Monthly salary of the sales-person = $5000
• Commission = 7% of total sales

Let the total sales of a month = $S

Therefore, commission on this sale = 7% of $S

                                                            = $0.07S

Salary of the month = $5000

Total earnings (W) of the sales person = $(0.07S + 5000)

     Therefore, equation for the monthly wage will be,

W = 0.07S + 5000
