Question

Three salesmen work for the same company, selling the same product. And, although they are all paid on a weekly basis, each salesman earns his paycheck differently. Salesman A works strictly on commission. He earns $65 per sale, with a maximum weekly commission of $1,300. Salesman B earns a weekly base salary of $300, plus a commission of $40 per sale. There are no limits on the amount of commission he can earn. Salesman C does not earn any commission. His weekly salary is $900.

Answer 1

1.For each salesman, write an equation showing the relationship between their weekly paycheck amount, p, and the number of sales, s, they had that week

Answer 2

2.Graph the three equations you just wrote for each salesman if they have between 0 and 20 sales in a week. Graph all three equationson the same graph . Make sure you label each line with the salesman it represents, as well as label the axes. Note: The independent variable is s, and the dependent variable is p.
