Question

Geoff earns 10% commission on his total sales at work..To pay for a concert ticket, Geoff needs to earn $135 in commission. What must Geoff's sales total for the week?

Answer 1

$1350

Explanation:

Percentage commision earned = 10%

Amount needed to pay for concert = $135

Hence, total sales for the week must be :

Let total sales = x

10% of total sales = $135

10/ 100 * x = $135

0.1x = $135

x = $135 / 0.1

x = $1350
