Question 910165
A new car salesperson is paid a monthly salary of $500 plus a commission of 5% of all the sales she makes each month. What monthly sales figure would give her of a monthly income of $1,200?
-------------
Equation:
salary = 500 + 0.05x where "x" is the amount of sales for the month.
---------------
Solve:: 500+0.05x = 1200
0.05x = 700
x = 70000/5
x = $14000 (amount of sales for the month)

-----------
