Question

Oswald earns a salary of 2,500 per month plus a 8%commission on all of his sales . He wants to earn 5,400 next month. Write an equation that shows what his total sales s must be in order for Oswaldo to reach his goal

Answer 1

(2,500*1)+(x*.08)=5,400

The first part comes from his monthly earnings of $2,500 and he wants his goal in 1 month. The second part is his sales, x, times his commission rate of 8%(.08). Then this equals his ending goal after one month of $5,400.

Hope this helped!
