The manager of a band gets paid $3000 a show, plus 15% commission on the ticket sales of x dollars.
==================================================================
His pay can be represented as the following function:
+highlight%28+++++P%28x%29+=+3000+%2B+0.15x++%29+
where x=the ticket sales in dollars.

I will leave it to you (or another tutor) to solve for x, given that P(x) = 19000. If another tutor does the work, you should still try to understand it as you will not learn anything if you just accept someone else's answer.
