Question

a local salesman receives a base salary of $600 monthly. he also receives a commission of 8% on all sales over $700. how much would he have to sell in a month if he needed to have a monthly income of $2300?

Answer 1

Answer: He would have to sell 21250$ worth of stuff.

Explanation:

600(.08*21250) = 2300

600 is base salary

.08 * 21250 = 1700

1700 is the amount of commissions for what is sold

1700+600=2300

2300 is the desired income
