Write A Linear Equation

[nycmathguy]

A pharmaceutical salesperson receives a monthly salary of $5000 plus a commission of 7% of sales. Write a linear equation for the salesperson’s monthly wage W in terms of
monthly sales S.

Let me see.

I will let W(S) = monthly wage W in terms of monthly sales S.

$5000 plus a commission of 7% of sales =
5000 + 0.07S.

We now put it all together:

W(S) = 5000 + 0.07S

You say?

Thank you. I do show my work or at least effort unless the question is way over my head.
