    First divide the commission by the number sold:

    225/5 = 45

    300/8 = 37.5 since the commission is a different amount it is not just multiplication so the last two answers are not correct.

    Since for 5 the commission was 45 but for 8 it was less than 45, the equation can't use 45 as a multiplier

    The answer has to be E = 25s + 100
