Three salesmen work for the same company, selling the same product. And, although they are all paid on a weekly basis, each salesman earns his paycheck differently. Salesman A works strictly on commission. He earns $65 per sale, with a maximum weekly commission of $1,300. Salesman B earns a weekly base salary of $300, plus a commission of $40 per sale. There are no limits on the amount of commission he can earn. Salesman C does not earn any commission. His weekly salary is $900.

If Salesman A has exactly
sales, he will reach his maximum weekly commission.

If we take the paycheck amount of $1020 and subtract it by the weekly salary of $300.

$1020 - $300 = $720

We get $720 in sale commissions. So to get the number of sales, you divide the $720 by the $40 per sale commission.

$720/$40 = 18

Therefore, the sales Salesman B has for the week is 18.
