If Bill's salary is $25 and he gets a 20¢ commission on every newspaper he sells, how many must he sell to make $47
Set up bills Earnings function E(n) where n is the number of newspapers he sells:
E(n) =. Cost per newspaper * number of newspapers sold + base salary
E(n) = 0.2n + 25
We're asked to find n when E(n) = 47, so we set E(n) = 47 and solve for n:
0.2n + 25 = 47
Using our equation solver, we get:
n = 110
