Question 976065: A car salesperson is paid a base salary of $17,000 a year plus 15% commission on all furniture sales. What are the sales needed to ensure an annual income greater than $60,000
Answer by Boreal(15235) About Me  (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
income= 17,000 +(0.15) sales
43,000-0.15 sales
43,000/0.15= sales
$286,667 in sales minimum to exceed $60,000.
That * 0.15 would equal 43,000 which, with his base salary, would equal $60,000.
