Question

A salesman receives a fixed salary of $500 per week. In addition he is paid 12% of all sales over $1000. Write the formula that describes how his weekly salary, s, depends on his weekly revenue, r. (The revenue is the amount of money he collects by selling the goods.)

Answer 1

s=5000+(r-1000)×12/100

he gets 5000$ for sure in addition he gets 12% of everything he sells over 1000$ so when we subtract 1000 from r we get the amount of money he sells more than 1000

hope it helps!

Answer 2

The formula would be $s=6200-0.12r$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Fixed salary = $5000

Let r be the revenue.

12% of all sales over $1000.

Let weekly salary be 's'.

According to question, it becomes,

$s=5000+(1000-r)\times \dfrac{12}{100}\\\\s=5000+(1000-r)\times 0.12\\\\s=5000+1200-0.12r\\\\s=6200-0.12r$

Hence, the formula would be $s=6200-0.12r$
