Answer 1

RM3,500

Explanation:

Salary=RM375 per week

5% commission per week

If she target a minimum of RM 550.

Let x=minimum Sales

RM550=RM375 + 5% of x

RM550=RM375 + 0.05x

RM550 - RM375=0.05x

RM175=0.05x

Divide both sides by 0.05

RM175/0.05=0.05x/0.05

RM3,500=x

For Azila to earn a minimum of RM550 in a week, her salary will be RM375 plus 5% commission on the sales of RM3,500 value of product.

Check:

5% of RM3,500
