Mia is a sales associate at an art gallery. Each week she earns $300 put 4% commission of all her sales. This week she earned $327. How much were Mia's art sales this week ? please help

i guess her commission was \(\$27\) so your job is to solve \(.04x=27\) for \(x\)

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

You mean "plus 4% commission", right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea plus 4% commission

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

The commission is $327 - $300 = $27 That $27 is 4% of her art sales. Set up a proportion: 27 is to 4% as x is to 100% 27/4 = x/100 Now cross multiply and solve for x.
