Question

Three salesmen work for the same company, selling the same product. And, although they are all paid on a weekly basis, each salesman earns his paycheck differently.

Salesman A works strictly on commission. He earns $65 per sale, with a maximum weekly commission of $1,300.





PLS HELP ME IM ABT TO CRY!!!! 100 PTS
Salesman B earns a weekly base salary of $300, plus a commission of $40 per sale. There are no limits on the amount of commission he can earn.

Salesman C does not earn any commission. His weekly salary is $900.

If Salesman A has exactly ____ sales, he will reach his maximum weekly commission.

Answer 1

Sales = 20

Explanation:

Simply make the equation "1300 = 65s" to solve the problem

1300 = 65s

Divide both sides by 65.

1300/65 = 65s/65

Divide 1300 by 65 to get 20.

20=s

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left-hand side.

s=20
