Question

Mia is a sales associate at an art gallery. Each week she earns $300 plus a 4% commission of all her sales. This week she earned $327. How much, in dollars, were Mia's art sales this week? (Do not put a $ in your answer.)

Answer 1

If she already earns $300, then her money from commission is 327-300=27.

Answer 2

So, 27=4%(x), where x is her art sales.

Answer 3

Divide by 4% and x=675.

Answer 4

Does that make sense?

Answer 5

yes
