### Salesperson Salary CalculationJay makes a base salary of $2,500 per month. Once he reaches $48,000 in total sales, he earns an additional 3% commission (salary) on the amount of sales over $48,000. Let $ x $ be the amount of his total sales for the month and $ s(x) $ be the amount of his salary for the month.#### Example Problems:1. **If Jay’s total sales for the month is $60,000, find his salary for the month.**2. **If Jay’s total salary for a month was $3,300, how much were his total sales for that month?**To compute the salary based on the total sales, follow these steps:1. **Base Salary:** - Jay always earns a base salary of $2,500 per month regardless of his total sales.2. **Commission Calculation:** - If Jay sells more than $48,000, he earns a commission of 3% on the amount exceeding $48,000. - To find the commission: \[ \text{Commission} = 0.03 \times (x - 48,000) \]3. **Total Salary Calculation:** - The total salary $ s(x) $ is the sum of the base salary and the earned commission. \[ s(x) = 2,500 + \text{Commission} \]#### Example Calculations:1. **Total Sales of $60,000:** - Base Salary: $2,500 - Sales Exceeding $48,000: $60,000 - $48,000 = $12,000 - Commission: 0.03 × $12,000 = $360 - Total Salary: $2,500 + $360 = $2,860 Thus, if Jay’s total sales for the month is $60,000, his salary for the month is $2,860.2. **Total Salary of $3,300:** - First, determine the amount made from commission: \[ 3,300 = 2,500 + \text{Commission} \] \[ \text{Commission} = 3,300 - 2,500 = 800 \] - Next, calculate the sales exceeding
