Question

4. A driver set a goal to earn $2,000 in March. He receives a base salary of $1,000 per month as well as 20%

commission for all sales in that month. What do his TOTAL SALES have to be this month to reach his goal?

Answer 1

X=$5000 in sales

Explanation:

You can write an equation in slope-intercept to find an answer.

y=0.2x+1000, 20% commission is the slope and the base pay is the y-intercept.

Now, just plug in 2000 for y.

2000=0.2x+1000, subtract 1000.

1000=0.2x, Multiply by 5 to get x by itself.

5000=x.
