Answer 1

$24,166.67

Explanation:

Let carry out the breakdown:

So Norman Jean makes a flat rate of $25 per hour, also she works 35 hours per week.

From the above statement Jean will make => 25 × 35 = $875 in a single week without commission.

For Jean to make $4500 in a week, we derive an equation for this:

875 + x = 4500

x is the amount of commission Jean has to get in a week to make up to $4500 in that week => x = 4500-875; x = $3625.

Let y be the amount of sales Jean has to make to get a commission of x, we derive the following equation: 0.15 × y = x.

y = x ÷ 0.15 => 3625 ÷ 0.15

y = 24166.67

So for Jean to meet her target of $4500 in a single week, Jean needs to make a sale worth $24,166.67.
