Sydney is a salesperson who sells computers at an electronics store. She makes a base pay amount each day and then is paid a commission as a percentage of the total dollar amount the company makes from her sales that day. Let P represent Sydney's total pay on a day on which she sells "x" dollars worth of computers. Write an equation that represents P as a function of X

P(x) = base pay + percentage of total dollar amount company makes x

Step-by-step explanation:

I don't think there's enough information here, but this is what I've got.

Hope this helps!

P=0.025x+100

Step-by-step explanation:

The y-intercept of the function is 100 which represents the base pay Sydney makes regardless of computer sales.

that's the correct answer^^^

a)

x  |  y

16  |  3

12  |  6

8   |  9

4   |  12

b) A large basket contains 23 eggs

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Isolating 3x, we get

3x = 60-4y

This means that 60-4y is a multiple of 3.

Besides, as x is a positive integer, then x = 60-4y has to be greater than zero

60-4y>0

Solving the inequality for y

60>4y

60/4 > y

15>y (or y<15, which is the same)

The multiples of 3 which are smaller than 15 are 3,6,9 and 12

Now we draw a table for these values of y and found the value of x by replacing in the equation 3x = 60-4y---> x = (60-4y)/3

x  |  y

16  |  3

12  |  6

8   |  9

4   |  12

And these are all the solutions in positive integers.

b) This problem is pretty much like problem a)

Let's call x the number of eggs contained in the large baskets and y the number of eggs contained in the small baskets.

Then

Number of eggs bought - number of eggs sold = number of eggs left over.

In this case

11x-39y = 19

But we also know that 0<y<12 because the small baskets hols fewer than a dozen.

Isolating x in the equation 11x-39y + 19, we get

x=(19+39y)/11

Now we make a table with these values of x and y remembering that y is a positive integer smaller than 12

x   | y

5.2  | 1

8.8  | 2

12.4 | 3

15.9 | 4

19.5 | 5

23   | 6

26.6 | 7

30.1 | 8

33.6 | 9

37.2 |10

40.7 |11

From this table we see that the only integer solution for x is 23, so a large basket contains 23 eggs.
