Question

Janice earns a 4 percent commission for the medical equipment that she sells. If she earned $1,823.94 in commission on the digital x-ray machine that she sold, what was the cost of the machine?
$4,559.85
$7,295.76
$45,598.50
$72,957.60

Answer 1

Let the value of x-ray machine be x

4% of x = $1,823.94

x = 1,823.94 ÷ 0.04 = $45,598.50

The cost of the machine was $45,598.50.

Answer 2

1823,94 mean 4%
x mean 100%

x = 1823,94*100/4 = 45598,5
