- y = mx + b
A pharmaceutical salesperson receives a monthly salary of $5000 plus a commission of
7% of sales. Write a linear equation for the salesperson’s monthly wage W in terms of monthly sales S.
I will let W(S) = monthly wage W in terms of monthly sales S.
$5000 plus a commission of 7% of sales =
5000 + 0.07S.
We now put it all together:
W(S) = 5000 + 0.07S
