Answer:
1. E = 8h + 0.05s
2. $2,800
3. please check explanations
Step-by-step explanation:
Firstly, we need an expression for what she earns.
The key to answering this is to know that 5% is same as 5/100 = 0.05
So , if her total sales is given as S, the amount she makes as commission would be 0.05s
So the Total earnings given that she works h hours per week and earns $8/h is $8h
So total earnings E = 8h + 0.05s
Now we want to get to total sales given she worked 15 hours last week and earned $260 in total.
What this means is that we have h and E and we want to find s for that week.
What we need to do is to plug the values into the equation we have defined above;
Thus;
260 = 8(15) + 0.05s
260 = 120 + 0.05s
0.05s = 260-120
0.05s = 140
s = 140/0.05
s = $2,800
I think employers offer commission to serve as a form of morale booster which helps to make their employees work better by sustaining their enthusiasm on the job and also augment their salaries
No, I do not think there are potential problems
