    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.
