Question

(Please help!!) Arnold is paid a graduated commission on sales. He earns 7% on sales up to $10,000 and 10% on sales over that amount. His goal is to make $2,500 next month. How much will he need to sell?

Answer 1

Explanation:

10000*7%= $700.00

2500-700=1800

1800 is 10% of 18,000

So 18,000 +10,000 = 28,000 in sales is needed to get $2,500 in commission.
