Question

a salesperson at a car dealership has a base salary of $25,000 per year and earns a 5% commision on total sales. how much must the salesperson sell to earn $50,000 in one year?

Answer 1

Therefore the salesperson must sell $500 000 to earn $50 000 in one year

Answer 2

50000 = 25000 + 0.05x
Now, we solve for x:
50000 - 25000 = 0.05x
25000 = 0.05x
500 000 = x

Answer 3

-2(4-3x)+7=6(x+1)
