Question

You are a sales account executive earning $1400 per month plus 6% commission on the amount of sales. Your goal is to earn a minimum of $5000 per month. What amount of sales will enable you to earn $5000 or more per month?

Answer 1

You must make sales of at least $60,000 to earn $5,000

Explanation:

5,000 = .06x + 1400 Subtract 1400 from both sides of the equation

3600 = .06x Divide both sides by .06

60,000 = x
