Question

mara works for an electronics store and receives a 6.5% commission on her sales. She also recevies a weekly salary 460. mara's boss asks her to specialize in the sale of flat screen televisions that cost $414 each, which means those are the only items she will sell. write and sole an equation to find the number of televisions, t, she sells in one week if she earns 890.56 for the week

Answer 1

16 tvs

Explanation:

Maura's earnings for the week equal her weekly salary (460) plus she earns 6.5% commission x number of flat screens sold x $414.

So: Total Earnings = 460+ 0.065*414*t where t is the number of tvs she has sold.

If total earnings = 890.56, just substitute that above and solve for t.

890.56= 460+ 0.065*414*t

430.56=0.065*414*t

430.56=26.91*t

430.56/26.91 = t

16 = t

She sold 16 tvs to earn 890.56.
