58. Piece-rate systems are widely debated incentive payment plans. In a recent study of loan officer effectiveness, the following piece-rate system was examined:
| of goal reached | 100 | 120 | ||
| Incentive | n/a | with an additional added per percentage point from | with an additional added per percentage point from | with an additional added per percentage point from |
If a loan officer makes of his or her goal, write the linear function that applies based on the incentive plan table. In context, explain the
