Question

Katrina wants to earn at least $600 this week in commission. What is the minimum amount she needs to sell in order to earn $600 if she earns a 7.5% commission on everything she sells? Round your answer to the nearest dollar if necessary.

__________

Answer 1

$8000

Explanation:

For every $1000 Katrina sells, she earns $75. This is becuase when we multiply what she sold by her commision price, we get what she made

If we want to find how much she needs to make to earn $600, we can divide 600 by 75. This gives us 8. So, she will need to sell $8000 in order to earn $600
