Question Number 53709 by pieroo last updated on 25/Jan/19
A supermarket pays its sales personnel  on a weekly basis. At the end of each week,  each sales person receives a basic   weekly wage plus bonus, which varies  directly as the number of complete  weeks that particular person has   worked in the shop. At the end of her  fourth week a sales girl received a pay  packet containing $2060. Six weeks  later her pay had jumped to $2150.   Find the exact relation for determining  how much the shop′s personnel are   paid every week.
