To find the correct answer, let's break down the given information and analyze each option.
The monthly pay of the salesman is denoted by 'y' and includes a basic pay of $200 plus a commission of $5 for every unit he sells.
Now let's examine each option:
a) x = 205 5y
This option suggests that the value of 'x' is equal to 205 multiplied by 5 times 'y'. However, there is no mention of 'x' in the given information. So, this option does not represent the correct function.
b) 200 5xy
This option suggests that the function is equal to 200 plus 5 times 'x' times 'y'. Again, there is no mention of 'x' in the given information. So, this option is also incorrect.
c) x = 387 5y
Similar to the first option, this option introduces 'x' without any explanation. Therefore, it does not represent the correct function.
d) y = 200 5x
This option suggests that the monthly pay 'y' is equal to 200 plus 5 times 'x'. This aligns with the given information where the basic pay is $200 and the commission is calculated as $5 for every unit sold. The variable 'x' represents the number of units sold, and the function correctly shows that the monthly pay 'y' depends on the number of units sold, which is 'x'. Hence, the correct answer is option 'D'.
In summary:
- Option 'A' is incorrect because it introduces 'x' without any explanation.
- Option 'B' is incorrect because it introduces 'x' without any explanation.
- Option 'C' is incorrect because it introduces 'x' without any explanation.
- Option 'D' is correct because it correctly represents the function, showing that the monthly pay 'y' depends on the number of units sold, denoted by 'x'.
