Question

A salesperson gets a commission of $1400 for the first $10,000 of sales, and then $700 for each additional $10,000 or partial of sales. let s(x) represent the commission on x dollars of sales. find the value of s(65,000)

Answer 1

Answer:

$s(65,000)= \ 4,900$

Step-by-step explanation:

$s(x)$ represents the commission on $x$ dollars of sales.

For the first $10,000 of sales, the commission is $1400.

For each additional $10,000, the commission is $700.

The total value is $65,000.

The first $10,000 implies a commission of $1400.

The rest is $55,000, which represents 5 times $10,000 and $5,000. The additional commission is 5 times $700, which is $3500.

Therefore, the total commission for the sale of $65,000 is $4,900.

$s(65,000)= \ 4,900$
