Three salesmen work for the same company, selling the same product. And, although they are all paid on a weekly basis, each salesman earns his paycheck differently. Salesman A works strictly on commission. He earns $65 per sale, with a maximum weekly commission of $1,300. Salesman B earns a weekly base salary of $300, plus a commission of $40 per sale. There are no limits on the amount of commission he can earn. Salesman C does not earn any commission. His weekly salary is $900. The weekly paycheck amount for each salesman, p, is a function of the number of sales, s, they had in that week. Is the function representing the weekly paycheck amount of Salesman A a proportional relationship? Use complete sentences to explain your reasoning.

My sister answered this one The answer would be 11 sales! They both earn $780 Salesman A's earnings in Week 4 if he makes one sale is $65, and each sale just adds on $65. Salesman B's earnings for the week if he makes one sale is $340 and you just add $40 for each of his sales. I kept counting both and I saw that they both had $780 for their 11th sale.
