Question

2) You hired an interior designer from Atlanta Interior Design Inc. to help decorate the new game

room; however, the interior designer earns a commission on their work. If Atlanta Interior Design
gets to keep 30% of the money from the sale, what would the company's bill have to be to make at
least $500?

Answer 1

Maybe 833. I don’t know if I’m correct or not plz tell me

Answer 2

Approximately, $1,666.66

Explanation:

Since Atlanta Interior Design is keeping 30% of the money from the overall sale, and their 30% is supposed to be $500, therefore you would have the following layout:

$500 30%

-------- = --------

x 100%

Therefore, you would do (500 x 100)

----------------- = 1,666.66~

30

To check this, you could do:

x 30%

--------------- = --------

1,666.66~ 100%

Therefore,

(1,666.66~ * 30)

----------------------- = 499.99~

100
