Harper is a salesperson who sells computers at an electronics store. She makes a base pay amount of $100 per day regardless of sales and she earns a commission of 1% of the dollar amount of all sales that she makes. Write an equation for P, P, in terms of x, x, representing Harper's total pay on a day on which she sells xx dollars worth of computers.

Given:

Base pay = $100 per day

Commission = 1% of the dollar amount of all sales that she makes

To find:

The equation representing Harper's total pay on a day.
