Question

Given salary function is y=5x+3x+25 assume that the sale person has a salary goal of $800 pee week if product B is not available one week,how many units of the product A must be sold to meet the salary goal?

Answer 1

$$y=5x_1+3x_2+25$$

where $y =$ weekly salary, $x_1=$ number of units of product A sold, and $x_2 =$ number of units of product B sold.

Given $y=800, x_2=0.$

$$800=5x_1+3(0)+25$$

$$5x_1=775$$

$$x_1=155$$

155 units of the product A must be sold to meet the salary goal.
