Question

A salesperson earns $350.25 per week plus 12% of her weekly sales. Which of the following describes the sales necessary for the salesperson to earn at least $800.50 in one week

Answer 1

Let X describes the sales

350.25+0.12x=800.5
Now solve for x
0.12x=800.5-350.25
0.12x=450.25
X=450.25÷0.12
X=3,752.08

the sales necessary for the salesperson to earn at least $800.50 in one week is 3,752.08
