$2,812.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

y > amount that Sarah earn this month

x > amount of sales over $5,750

we know that

5%=5/100=0.05

The linear equation that represent this situation is

y=4(525)+0.05(x)

Find the value of x

x=20,000-5750=$14,250

substitute

y=4(525)+0.05(14,250)=$2,812.50

answer: 0.95, d

step-by-step explanation:

first, you have to combine the percentages of costumers ordering pizza or salad. 25% (percent of salads ordered) plus 70% (percent of pizzas ordered) is equal to 95%. then, turn 95% into a fraction: 95/100. lastly, divide 95 by 100 and you will get 0.95, d.
