Question

A salesperson at a car dealership earns a monthly salary of $2500 and $325 for each vehicle sold. How many vehicles does the salesperson need to sell in a month to earn at least $5000?

Answer 1

What we have

Every month the salesperson makes $2500

$325 for ever vehicle sold

We need to find out how he can make $5000 in a month

Solving

Knowing the first piece of information we automatically start off from $2500 and because we know each car is 325 we just need to add it onto it several times

2500+325+325+325+325+325+325+325+325 = 5100

Meaning above we will have an extra $100 no matter what we do

Counting the amount of "325's" I added we come to the total of 8

Answer

Meaning in order to earn $5000 in a month this sales person needs to sell 8 vehicles.

Answer 2

8 cars

Step-by-step:

if you subtract 2500 from 5000 you get 2500

then divide 2500 by 325 to get the amount of cars
