The system of equations y = 25,000 (0 < x< 15000} y= 0.25(x-15.000) + 25,000 {x> 15000} describes the annual salary, y, Thomas earns from his sales job with Franklin Mills where he earns commission only on his total sales, x, after $15,000. If the ordered pair (9000, 25000) is a solution to this system, what does the ordered pair mean? Select one: O a. Thomas earned $9000 in commission in addition to the $25,000 in base pay. O b. Thomas needs a new job. O c. Thomas earned $9000 out of his total $25,000 pay as commission. O d. Thomas had $9000 in sales and so, earned $25,000 in total pay for the year. Clear my choice
