Question

Jonathon is starting a new job where he will earn $100 per week plus 15% commission on all sales. Write an equation and solve it to show what his salesbwere for a week if he earned $380?

Answer 1

(380-100).15(+280)
first to find the commission you have to subtract the guaranteed payment, and then to find commission multiply by .15, subtract that number from 280 (sales without commission) (280 from 380-100) and that is the amount he made from sales (answer: 322 from sales)
