hourly wages+commission=income
\n" ); document.write( "15*6.25+rate*sales=280.63
\n" ); document.write( "rate=r
\n" ); document.write( "sales=3250
\n" ); document.write( "15*6.25+r*3250=280.63
\n" ); document.write( "solve for r\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "I leave the math for you.
\n" ); document.write( "Be careful of decimal points
\n" ); document.write( "Make sure the results are reasonable.
\n" ); document.write( "He earned only about 90 dollars hourly wages so his commission should be less than $200
\n" ); document.write( "So his r should probably be less than 7%
\n" ); document.write( "You do the exact calculations.
