Anthony sells cars. Each month, he is paid 2 dollars comma 000 , plus a 15 percent commission on monthly sales above 20 dollars comma 000 Which function calculates his monthly earnings cap e as a function of m , his monthly sales?

Anthony earns a base salary of $2,000, then receives 15% commission only on the amount of sales above $20,000. The amount above $20,000 is m − 20,000, so his earnings are e(m) = 2,000 + 0.15(m − 20,000). Choice B matches this rule; choice A incorrectly applies commission to sales plus $20,000.
