A salesperson earns 5% on all sales between $200 and $600, and 8% on part of the sales over $600. What is her commission in a week in which her sales total $800?
-------
0-200:: no commission
200-600:: 5% commission
600-800:: 8% commission
---
Total commission on $800::: 0.05*400+0.08*200 = 20+16 = $36.00

-----
Let "x" be the total # of students::
0.166667x = 6
x = 6/0.1666667
x = 36
---------
# who passed = 36-6 = 30
