Dawn and Claire both earn a base salary plus commission. Dawn earns $1000 plus 25% other sales each month. Claire earns $2000 plus 10% of her sales each month. Write a system ofnequations that represents the situation. Let x represent the amount in sales each month.

Respuesta :

The system of equations is
[tex] \left \{ {{y=1000+0.25x} \atop {y=2000+0.10x}} \right. [/tex]

Dawn earns $1000, and we add to that the commission she makes, 25% of her sales.  25%=25/100=0.25, so we have 1000+0.25x.

Claire earns $2000, and we add to that the commission she makes, 10% of her sales.  10%=10/100=0.10, so we have 2000+0.10x.
