Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Natalie basic salary is $300 per week. She is paid a commission of 30% of her total sales for the week. Therefore her total weekly salary per week is given by:

Total weekly salary = Basic salary + Commissions

If Natalie makes $225 in sales, her commission = 30% of $225 = 0.3 × $225 = $67.5

Total weekly salary = Basic salary + Commissions = $300 + $67.5

Total weekly salary = $367.5

b) If Natalie makes $x in sales, her commission = 30% of $x = 0.3 × $x = $0.3x

Total weekly salary = Basic salary + Commissions = $300 + $0.3x

Total weekly salary = $(300 + 0.3x)
