Question

MEDAL GIVAWAY!

Andrew salary is 1200 a month plus 4% commission on all his sales. What must the amount of his sales be to earn at least 1600 each month?

Answer 1

1600 - 1200 = 400 -- he needs to earn at least 400 more dollars.
4% of his sales = 400
.04x = 400
x = 400/.04
x = 10,000

check...1200 + (.04)(10,000) = 1600
1200 + 400 = 1600
1600 = 1600 (correct)

He would have to sell at least $10,000 each month to earn $1600.

Does that make sense to you ?
