Answer 1

b

Explanation:

Answer 2

b. $50,000

Explanation:

The computation of the sales amount need to have is shown below:

But before that monthly income is

= Annual salary ÷ Number of months

= $48000 ÷ 12

= $4,000

Now the equation could be made which is shown below:

0.04x = $6,000 - $4000

0.04x = $2,000

X = $2000 ÷ 0.04

X = $50,000

Hence, the correct option is b. $50,000
