Answer:P (x) = 10x + 100

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of computers that William sold on a particular day.

Let the function, P (x) represent the total pay on a day on which he sells x computers.

He makes a base pay of $100 each day and then is paid a $10 commission for every computer sale he makes. If he sells x computers on a particular day, then the equation for the function P (x) would be

P (x) = 10x + 100
