Answer 1

Philipe has to make a weekly sales of $ 3000 so that he can earn $ 360

Solution:

Given that,

Philipe works for a computer store that pays a 12% commission and no salary

We have to find his weekly sales have to be for him to earn $360

From given, we can say,

12 % of weekly sales will earn him $ 360

12 % of weekly sales = 360

Let "x" be the weekly sales

12 % of "x" = 360

Solve the above expression

`(12)/(100) * x = 360\\\\0.12x = 360\\\\x = (360)/(0.12)\\\\x = 3000`

Thus Philipe has to make a weekly sales of $ 3000 so that he can earn $ 360
