Question

10. Suppose you are a salesperson for the Acme Dynamite Company. Each month you earn $400 plus one sixth of your sales.

What amount must you sell this month to earn more than $3000?

Answer 1

ANS

$15600 worth of explosives.

$3000 = $400x

$3000 - 400 ( 1/6x )

`\\ = ( (1)/(6) x)`

= $2600

`\\ = ( (1)/(6) x)`

= $

`\\ (2600)/( (1)/(6) ) = x`

`x = 15600`

Thank You !!!!
