Question 972292: Laura is a salesperson in a retail store and earns $66 per week plus 11% of her weekly sales. If Laura earned $209 one week, what were her sales that week? Answer by checkley77(12844) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 66+.11x=209
.11x=209-66
.11x=143
x=143/.11
x=$1,300 was her sales amount.
proof:
.11*1,300+66=209
143+66=209
209=209
