Problema Solution
each month you earn $2200.00 plus one fifteenth of your sales. What must your sales be this month to earn $4000.00
Answer provided by our tutors
let your sales be s
you earn: 2200 + (1/15)s
you want this to equal 4000, so you have the equation:
4000 = 2200 + (1/15)s subtract 220 from both sides
1800 = (1/15)s multiply both sides by 15
27000 = s
so your sales need to be $27,000
