Question

Which equation represents the total commission (c) a sales associate receives if he sells laptop computers (l) with a commission of $39.95 for each sold laptop? What's the total commission if he sells 15 laptops?

A)

l = 39.95c; $599.25

B)

c = 39.95l; $2.66

C)

l = 39.95c; $2.66

D)

c = 39.95l; $599.25

Answer 1

D

Explanation:

The total commission is the number of laptops times the commission per laptop. Thus,
`c=39.95l`.

Setting
`l=15`,
`c=39.95(15)=599.25`.
