h (x) = x - 125000 is used to calculate the total sold over 125,000 and g (x) = 0.05x is used to calculate the bonus to be recieved.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first function "h (x) = x - 125000" calculates the total over $125,000 that the salesperson sold in that week, where "x" is the total sold by it. This value will be used to calculate the bonus the salesperson will recieve. The second function "g (x) = 0.05x" is used to calculate the bonus the salesperson will recieve where 0.05 is 5% and x is the total amount the person sold over $125,000. The value of "x" in the second equation is the same as "h (x) " from the first one.
