Question 183642
The amount of money that a salesperson makes varies directly as the total amount of sales made. If the salesperson recieves $7,500 for selling a house for $120,000, how much will he or she make if he or she sells a house for $150,000?
---------------------------------------
a = kt
---------
Solve for "k":
7500 = k*120000
k = 0.0625
-------------------
Now you know the equation is 
a = (0.0625)t
---------------
How much will he or she make if he or she sells a house for $150,000?
a = 0.0625*150000
a = $9375.00
