<PRE><B>Question 711171</B>
Define the following variables:
T = Total earned in a week
B = Base salary
C = Commission
S = Amount Daniel sells
--------------------
{{{T=B+C}}}
{{{800=500+C}}}
{{{C=300}}}
--------------------
So now the question is, how much does Daniel have to sell to make $300?
You are given that his percentage is 11%. So:
{{{C=0.11*S}}}
Solve for S:
{{{S=C/0.11}}}
{{{S=300/.11}}}
{{{highlight(S=2727.27)}}} dollars
