Chapter 2.1, Problem 92AYU

To determine

To express:Thegross salary G of a person as a function of number of item sold, x .

Answer to Problem 92AYU

The gross salary can be expressed as $G\left(x\right)=100+10x$ dollars.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The base pay is $100.

Number of item sold is $x$ and price of each item is $10.

Calculation:

Let us consider the salary function be $G\left(x\right)$ .

Gross salary will be the sum of the base pay, and the product of number of item sold and price of each item.

Therefore, the gross salary can be expressed as shown:

  $\begin{array}{c}G\left(x\right)=\text{Base}\text{pay}+\text{price}\text{of}\text{each}\text{item}\times \text{number}\text{of}\text{item sold}\\ =100+x\times 10\\ =100+10x\end{array}$

The gross salary can be expressed as $G\left(x\right)=100+10x$ dollars.
