Thank you for answering this question. It really means a lot to me :) Answer by rothauserc(4718) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! salesman's salary + commission = 5500
2500 + commission = 5500
commission = 3000
let x be his sales
(x - 75000)*.06 = 3000
.06x - 4500 = 3000
.06x = 7500
x = $125,000
