5. Elaine is in the business of repairing home computers. She charges a base fee of $45 for each visit and $25
per hour for her labor. The total cost c(x) for a home visit and x hours of labor is modeled by the function rule
c(x) = 45 + 25x. Use the function rule to make a table of values and a graph.

6. An employee receives a weekly salary of $340 and a 6% commission on all sales.

a. Write a rule to describe the function f(d) that gives weekly earnings in terms of d dollars in sales.
b. Find the employee’s earnings for a week with $660 total sales.
c. What were the employee’s total sales for a week in which her earnings were $1300?

For the data in the table, tell whether y varies directly with x. If it does, write an equation for the
direct variation.

7.
