Zoe is a salesperson who sells computers at an electronics store. She is paid a 1% commission for every computer sale she makes, and also makes a base pay each day regardless of sales. One day, Zoe sold $8000 worth of computers and was paid a total of $140 that day. Write an equation for the function P ( x ) , P(x), representing Zoe's total pay on a day on which she sells x x dollars worth of computers.

Given:

Zoe gets paid a 1% commission for every sale she makes in addition to base pay.

She sold $8,000 worth of computers on a day and made $140 that day.

To find:

A function P(x) representing total pay on a day where she sells x dollars worth of computers.

Solution:

To determine the function P(x) we need to determine how much Zoe's base pay per day is.

One day, she sold $8,000 worth of computers and made $140 that day.

She gets a commission of 1% for $8,000.

1% of $8,000

So she got paid $140 out of which $80 was a commission.

So her base pay

So Zoe's base pay is $60 a day.

P(x) is the sum of her base pay and 1% of the amount of computer sales she makes ($x).

So , where x is the computer sales she makes in dollars. P(x) is represented in dollars.

8

step-by-step explanation:

to find the amount of gift bags to use all the supplies, find the gcf or greatest common factor. this is the largest number which multiplies evenly into each term.

48 has factors: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12. 16, 24, 48

80 has factors: 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 20, 40, 80

64 has factors: 1, 2, 4, 8, 8, 16, 32, 64

the highest number factor they all share in common is 8. this means there will be 8 bags with 6 pencils, 10 markers, and 8 stickers in each bag.
