Question

A dishwasher salesperson's commission rate is 30%. The salesperson receives a commission of $372. How many dollars worth of dishwashers did the salesperson sell?

Answer 1

The dishwasher salesperson earns as commission 30% of dishwashers price.

Calling x to dishwashers price, the salesperson earns:

`x\cdot(30)/(100)`

we know that the salesperson received a commission of $372, then:

`\begin{gathered} x\cdot(30)/(100)=372 \\ x=372\cdot(100)/(30) \\ x=1240 \end{gathered}`

The salesperson sold $1240 worth of dishwashers
