Constructing Functions Tiffany, a commissioned sales person, earns \(100 base pay plus \)10 per item sold. Express her gross salary G as a function of the number x of items sold.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The gross salaryG(x)=10x+100

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given Information 

Tiffany, a commissioned sales person, earns $100 base pay plus $10 per item sold.

We have to express her gross salary G as a function of the numberx of items sold.

02

Step 2. Tiffany base pay $100 plus $10 per item sold.

She sold xitems.

So her gross salary is

G(x)=numberofitems×commissiononperitem+Basepay

G(x)=x×10+100G(x)=10x+100
