Cooper is a salesperson who sells computers at an electronics store. He makes a base pay amount of $ 60 per day regardless of sales and he earns a commission of 1.5% of the dollar amount of all sales that he makes. Write an equation for P, in terms of x, representing Cooper's total pay on a day on which he sells z dollars worth of computers.

Answer :

Answer:

P = 0.015x + 60

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Cooper's base pay is $60, he would earn $60 even for selling $0 worth of computers, meaning P= 60 when x=0, which is the y-intercept.

(0,60) is a point on the graph

Since Cooper makes a commision of 1.5% for all sales, the amount of money earned in a given day increases $0.015 for each $1 of sales made (multiply 1 by 0.015). This means the slope of P is equal to 0.015.
