Question

Rodrigo is a salesman who earned a base pay of $38,800 and was paid

commission of 14% for each book set he sold. If x represents total sales in
dollars, then which of the following equations best represents Rodrigo's total
pay in dollars?
OA.y=38800x+0.14
OB. y=38800+14x
OC. y=38800+ 0.014x
OD. y=38800 +0.14x

Answer 1

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

38800 + .14x is correct, since the 14 percent depends on x, which is the numbers of books sold.
