The amount of money that a salesperson makes varies directly as the total amount of sales made. If the salesperson receives $7,500 for selling a house for $120,000, how much will he or she make if he or she sells a house for $150,000?
---------------
money = k(sames)
7500 = k(120000)
k = 0.0625
---------------------
If sales = 150,000,
Money = (0.625)(150,000)
Money = 9375
