Question

Al earns a salary selling cars. He makes $250 a week plus 5% commission from his sales, s. His goal is to make $575 this week. How much must he sell this week to meet his goal? (do not include dollar sign)

Answer 1

6500 = 575- 250 = 325

if 5% equals 325 we need to know what 100% is so 100/5 = 20

so 20 × 325 =6500
