    y = s + 0.12 (r-1,000)

    Explanation:

    Given:

    Fixed salary (s) = $500 per week

    Additional income = 12% of sales over $1,000

    Sales (r) = r

    Total weekly salary (y) = ?

    Computation of total weekly salary:

    Total weekly salary (y) = Fixed salary + Additional income

    Total weekly salary (y) = $500 + 12% of sales over $1,000

    Total weekly salary (y) = $500 + [12/100] * [sales - $1,000]

    Total weekly salary (y) = $500 + 0.12 * [sales - $1,000]

    Additional equation:

    y = s + 0.12 (r-1,000)
