$250 is fixed salary

ganeshie8 · Answer

total weekly earnings, p =  250 + 8% of sales

mathhelp346 · Answer

so p=250+.08x?

ganeshie8 · Answer

p =  250 + 8% of sales 

sales = s

p = 250 + 8% of s
p = 250 + 8/100 s
p = 250 + .08s

ganeshie8 · Answer

yes, since they said explicitly sales =s, we call the sales variable s, instead of x :)
