Mr. Gonzalez earns his living as a salary plus commission employee, then his annual earnings can be represented by

What is the formula for monthly earning?

Monthly earnings=a+bx

Where a =his annual salary (fixed),

b = the percentage of sales commission and

X =represents the volume of sales made each year.

Therefore When  Mr. Gonzalez annual salary is $18,000 and makes a commission of 4%, his annual sales that will enable him earn an annual salary of $60,000 will be equal to

$60000 = $18000 + 0.04X

$60000 - $18000 = 0.04X

$48000 = 0.04X

0.04X = $1200000

X = $48000/0.04=12000000

X=$12000000
