Write the sentences in the form of mathematical functions. Let S = sales

A: Base salary of $14,000 a year, with a commission of 12% of your sales
Pay=                 14000                   +                             0.12            (S)

B: Base salary of $19,000 a year, with a commission of 5% of your sales 
Pay=                    19000                +                           0.05            (S)
