Question

Nicole works in a sporting goods store and earns $324 a week and 5% of her sales. One week Nicole earned $432. What were her sales that week?​

Answer 1

Answer: $2160 in sales.

Explanation:

You can represent this in an equation:

`432 = 324 + 0.05s`, where S represents Nicole's sales.

Solve for the equation:

`432 = 324 + 0.05s\\108 = 0.05s\\s = 2160`

Nicole sold $2160 worth of sporting goods the week she earned $432.
