Question

Tobias Gold sells computers at The Office Center.

He is guaranteed a minimum salary of $1,959 per month plus
6.3% commission on total sales. How much in total sales does
he need in order to have a gross pay for the month of $2,784.84?

Answer 1

Total sales to be made = $13108.57

Explanation:

Given that:

Monthly salary = $1959

Commission = 6.3%

Monthly pay to be earned = $2784.84

Commission amount = 2784.84 - 1959 = $825.84

Let,

x be the amount of sales

6.3% of x = 825.84

`(6.3)/(100)x=825.84\\0.063x=825.84`

Dividing both sides by 0.063

`(0.063x)/(0.063)=(825.84)/(0.063)\\x=13108.57`

Hence,

Total sales to be made = $13108.57
