You can put this solution on YOUR website!
base monthly salary of 3,330.

1.6% commission on the value of theproduct sold.

annual salary would be 12 times the monthly salary.
therefore annual salary is equal to 12 times 3,330 which is equal to 30.960.

let x represent the value of the sales for the year..

1.6% is equal to .016.

annual income is therefore equal to 39,960 + .016 * x.

let A(x) represent her annual income (salary plus commission).

your equation becomes A(x) = 39,960 + .016 * x.

that would be selection b.
