Eve Mercer · Answer 1

The linear model of her monthly earnings is; Y = 1200 + 0.03*X. The amount earned is 1350; choice A

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Y denote her monthly earnings and X her total sales. The linear model can thus be formulated as; Y = 1200 + 0.03*X. We are then to find the value of Y given X = 5000. We simply substitute X = 5000 into the linear model which yields; Y = 1350
