Weekly earnings can be expressed as a function f(d) such that:
f(d) = 340 + .06d because 6% = 0.06.
If there were $660 in sales, then f(d) = 340 + .06(660) = 340 + 39.6 = $379.60
If weekly earnings were $1300, then:
f(d) = 1300 = 340 + .06d We now need to solve for d.
1300 = 340 + .06d
960 = .06d
$16,000 = d
