Answer:

Trey earns a base pay of $47,300 plus 15% for each car sold.

The equation that represets Trey's total pay in dollars is:

y = $47,300 + 0.15x

Where $47,300 represents the base pay, and 0.15x represents the money he earn for the total cars sold.

Answer:

[tex]y=47,300+0.15x[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent total sales in dollars.

We have been given that Trey earns base pay of $47,300 and was paid  commission of 15% for each car he sold.

Since Trey is paid 15% for each car he sold and total sales were x dollars, this means his commission would be 15% of x that is [tex]\frac{15}{100}x=0.15x[/tex].

The total salary of Trey would be base salary plus commission: [tex]y=47,300+0.15x[/tex]

Therefore, the equation [tex]y=47,300+0.15x[/tex] represents Trey's total pay in dollars.
