Janet earns $300 per week plus a commission of 10% on all sales that she makes. Write a formula for E, Janet’s weekly earnings, in terms of s, her sales for the week. Then solve your formula for s.  _____________________________________________________________________

Verified Answer :

E = 300+30s

300 because of original $300 sum

and 30s because 10% of 300 is 30

and s because each sale is multiplied by 30 

so the equation is E = 300+30s

Answer:

The formula for E is \(E=\frac{s}{10}+300\).

The required formula for s is \(s=10E-3000\).

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Janet earns $300 per week plus a commission of 10% on all sales that she makes.

Let Janet sales is represents by s and weekly earning represents by E.

The fixed amount which he earn per week is $300 and Janet earns commission of 10% on all sale.

This can be written as

\(E=10\% \times s+300\)

\(E=\frac{10}{100}\times s+300\)

\(E=\frac{s}{10}+300\)

Hence, the formula for E is \(E=\frac{s}{10}+300\)

Now solve the formula for s as shown below:

Subtract 300 from both sides

\(E-300=\frac{s}{10}\)

 Multiply both sides by 10.

\(10(E-300)=10\times \frac{s}{10}\)

\(s=10E-3000\)

Hence, the required formula for s is \(s=10E-3000\).
