Answer from: krrrr

An annual Bob's salary is $30,000, then he gets $30,000:12=$2,500 each month.

If he wants to make $6,000 this month, then he should earn $6,000-$2,500=$3,500 on commissions. This sum is 5% from the sum of all salles he makes (denote it $x), so you have proportion:

$x - 100%

$3,500 - 5%.

Mathematically, it means that

$\dfrac{\$x}{100}= \dfrac{\$3,500}{5} ,\\ \\ x=\dfrac{\$3,500\cdot 100}{5} =\$3,500\cdot 20=\$70,000.$

Thus, the correct choice is B.

Answer from: straightbarz8901

Bob needs to have $\boxed{\$ 70,000}$ of sales to earth $\$ 6000$ in this month.

Further explanation:

Given:

The annual salary of Bob is $\$ 30000.$

The commission he earns on the sale he makes is $5\%.$

He wants $\$6000$ this month.

Explanation:

The annual salary of Bob is $\$ 30000$ . There are 12 months in a year.

Therefore, monthly salary of the Bob can be calculated as follows,

$\begin{aligned}{\text{Monthly salary}}&= \frac{{30000}}{{12}}\\&= \$ 2500\\\end{aligned}$

The monthly salary of the Bob is $\$2500.$

Consider the sale in the month is $\$ x.$

The total commission he needs to earn in the month can be calculated as follows,

$\begin{aligned}{\text {Commission}&=6000 - 2500\\&= \$ 3500\\\end{gathered}$

The amount of sale can be calculated as follows,

$\begin{aligned}5\%{\text{of }}x &= 3500\\\frac{5}{{100}} \times x &= 3500\\x&= \frac{{3500 \times 100}}{5}\\x&= \$ 70000\\\end{aligned}$

Bob needs to have $\boxed{\$ 70,000}$ of sales to earth $\$ 6000$ in this month.

Answer from: Quest

y= -3x is the required function.

step-by-step explanation:

we have been given a table:

x y

0 0

1 -3

3 -9

-2 6

we can see that the values of y is -3 times the value of x

hence, the function would be: y= -3x.

put the values of x will give the same y as in the table that means function is satisfying the given table.
