Question

Marlene is a sales associate at a department store. Each week she earns $100 plus a 5% commission of all her sales. This week she earned $160. How much, in dollars, were Marlene's sales this week?

Answer 1

We need an equation

I = 100 + .05(sales)

Answer 2

that is the whole question though

Answer 3

160 = 100 + .05(s)

subtract 100

60 = .05s

Divide by .05

12,000 = s

Therefore, sales of $12,000
