You can put this solution on YOUR website! Mr gray sells only 1 mower at $375. If he receives a 20% commission on the mower he sells what is the lowest number of mowers he must sell each week to receive an income higher than $500 a week.
one mower 375
commission 20 %
let the number of mowers sold be x to get more than $500
sale from x mowers = 575 x
interest for x mowers = 20%*575 x
this should be greater than 500
4.3
minimum 5 mowers must be sold
