Answer 2

$8095.24

Explanation:

Lou Harris is guaranteed a minimum weekly salary = $275

Plus 5.25% of his total sales

His gross pay for this week = $700

His commission on the sales = $700 - $275

= $425

Let the total sales for this week be x

5.25% of x = $425

0.0525x = 425

x =
`(425)/(0.0525)`

x = $8095.2381 ≈ $8095.24

His total sales for a week is $8095.24
