Question 905609: A salesman is paid a base salary of $2,000 a month plus an 10% commission of all sales over $8,000 during the month. How much must this employee sell in one month to earn a total of $3,600 for the month? Answer by richwmiller(17219) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 2000+.10*(s-8000)=3600
s=24000
check
2000+.10*(24000-8000)=3600
2000+.10*(16000)=3600
2000+1600=3600
ok
