Question

an insurance agent is paid a salary of 200gh cedis and a commission of 3% on all sales over 2000gh cedis per month. if his total income in a particular month was 530gh cedis, what was the amount of his sales for that month? ​

Answer 1

Answer: 11000gh cedis

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the salary of the insurance agent is 200gh cedis and his total income for the month was 530gh cedis, that means that the commission he got was:

= 530gh cedis - 200gh cedis

= 330gh cedis

Since he gets 3% on all sales and made 330gh as commission, the amount of sales for the month will be:

3% of x = 330

0.03 × x = 330

0.03x = 330

x = 330/0.03

x = 11000

Therefore, the sales was 11000gh cedis
