Question

Oswaldo earns a salary of $2500 per month plus an 8% commission on all of his sales. He wants to earn $5400 next month. Write an equation that shows what his total sales s must be in order for Oswaldo to reach his goal.

Answer 1

$2500+0.08=5400

Explanation:

First we are suppose to set up an equation

Then we will add 8% since it is the commission

Turn 8% as a decimal which is 0.08

This equation is equal to 5400 dollars because Oswaldo wants to earn $5400

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

2500+ (0.08)*(sales) = 5400

Hope this helps!
