Question

hey you guys I need but I want you to explain it to me don't just give me an answer

an insurance salesperson earns a salary of $4,200 per month pulse a commission of 3% of sales. how much must the salesperson sell to have a monthly income of at least $4,500?

Answer 1

4500 = 4200 + 3%C should be the setup

Answer 2

okay

Answer 3

subtract the 42 and divide by 3% to determine the comminssions

Answer 4

The salesperson gets 4200 as his salary, and that doesn't depend on his sales. Start with that. Then, add in a percentage of his sales. What is 3 percent of a number? Can you multiply his sales by a number to get the percentage? If so, you can add his base salary to his sales percentage to get his income.

Answer 5

@amistre64 okay then what I get would be the anwer?

Answer 6

what you get would then be the answer yes

just remember that 3% is equal to .03 :)

(4500-4200)/.03 = C

Answer 7

INCOME = BASE PAY + (PERCENTAGE/100) * SALES
