Question

A salesperson earns $300 per week, plus a 25% commission on each sale made. How much would the salesperson earn if he sold $650 worth of merchandise in one week?

Round to two decimal places

Answer 1

$800 = $300 +.05(x), x being the amount that must be sold

Subtract 300 from both sides

$500= .05(x)

Divide by .05

x=$10000
