A salesperson earns a base salary of $1600 per month, plus a commission equal to 4% of her total sales for the month. For example, if the salesperson's monthly sales total was $500, she would earn a commission equal to 4% of $500. Her total monthly earnings would be equal to her base salary of $1600 plus her commission. Complete the chart by calculating both the salesperson's commission for each monthly sales total and their total monthly earnings. Monthly Sales Commission Total Total Monthly Earnings Earned $0 $0 $ 1600 $1000 $ 40 $ 1640 $2000 $ 80 $ 1680 $3000 $ 120 $ 1720 Is her monthly income a linear function of his monthly sales? O Yes, because her monthly income grows by $0.04 for every dollar she sells. This is a constant growth rate. No, because her monthly income grows by a different amount for every dollar she sells. This is a not a constant growth rate. If so, find a linear formula that gives her monthly income in terms of sales. (Let C represent her monthly income and S represent her total sales for the month. If the relationship is not linear, enter DNE.)
