Question

An electronic salesman wants to earn $4,000 in November. He receives a base salary of $2000 per month as well as a 10% commission for all sales in that month. How much merchandise will he have to sell to earn the amount of money he wants

Answer 1

Explanation:

his salary =$2000

his commission should be (to make a total of $4000/month )=$4000-$2000 =$2000

let he should sell x amount over $7000 to get $2000 commission

So, 7% of x = 2000

7x/100 = 2000

x= (2000*100)/7 =28571.43 approx

As he will get commission on sales over $ 7000,so his should sell in a month

=$7000+$28571.43

= $ 35571.43

Answer 2

20000

Based on the given conditions, formulate:

`(4000-2000)/10\ percent`

Calculate

`(4000-2000)/(0.1)`

Calculate the sum or difference

`(2000)/(0.1)`

Multiply both the numerator and denominator with the same integer

`(20000)/(1)`

Any fraction with a denominator of 1 is equal to its numerator

`20000`
