<PRE><B>Question 293231</B>
Rachel is a saleswomen.
She is paid a base salary of $1800 a month plus a 4% commission on the sales she makes.
What was her sales amount last month if she earned a total of $2671.24?
------------------------
Equation:
sales + 0.04*sales = 2671.24
1.04s = 2671.24
s = 2671.24/1.04
sales = $2568.50
