Respuesta :

If Samantha works in a department store selling clothing and she makes a guaranteed salary of $500 per week but is paid a commission on top of her base salary equal to 25% of her total sales for the week, then Samantha would make $662.5 in a week in which she made $650 in sales and she would make 500 + 0.25 xx in a week in which she made xx dollars in sales.

The amount of money Samantha makes in a week can be given by an algebraic expression.

Amount of money Samantha makes in a week = Salary per week + 25% of her total sale

Amount of money Samantha makes in a week = 500 + 0.25 x

Here x is the sales Samantha made in a week

If she made $650 in sales in a week :

Amount of money Samantha makes in a week = 500 + 0.25(650)

Amount of money Samantha makes in a week = 500 + 162.5

Amount of money Samantha makes in a week = $662.5

If she made xx dollars in sales in a week :

Amount of money Samantha makes in a week = 500 + 0.25 x

Amount of money Samantha makes in a week = 500 + 0.25 xx
