Question

A sales associate in a store earns $325 per week, plus a commission equal to 4% of her sales. This week, her goal is to earn at least $475. At least how many dollars worth of sales does she need to make in order to hit her goal. (Hint: 4%=0.04)

Answer 1

Answer: She will need to sell at least ($3,750) of merchandise in order to reach her goal of $475 in one week.

Explanation:

It is GIVEN that she earns a weekly salary of $325 and she needs $475.

Subtract $325 from $475 (425-325)=150.

Now we know that she needs $150 to earn on top of her salary to reach her goal of $475.

I used a calculator to plug in (x)0.04=150

I received 3750 as my answer

$3750 times 4%= 150
