If you are talking about Prepworks, I checked the answer 7,650 and it's wrong.


The Answer is; 85,000


Good Luck!

Hey there!

Your question states:

John's monthly paycheck consists of $4000 plus a 9% commission on all of his sales. During one month, John earned $11,650. What were his sales during that month?

We don't want to 9% to really trick us.

We just do 11,650 - 4,000 = 7,650.

Now, we can adjust everything.

That 9% of the commission on the sales was worth . . .

7,650

Your correct and clarified answer would be . . .


\boxed{\boxed{\boxed{7,650}}}

Hope this helps.
