10. Suppose you are a salesperson for the Acme Dynamite Company. Each month you earn $400 plus one sixth of your sales.

What amount must you sell this month to earn more than $3000?

ANS

$15600 worth of explosives.

$3000 = $400x

$3000 - 400 ( 1/6x )


\\ = ( (1)/(6) x)

= $2600


\\ = ( (1)/(6) x)

= $


\\ (2600)/( (1)/(6) ) = x


x = 15600

Thank You !!!!
