Answer:
x=6
Step-by-step explanation:
Put the problem into y=mx+b format we knoe the inital value b is 6 now m is 3 and y the overall price is 24. Use the distributive property.
24=6+3x y=6+3x y=24
-6 -6
<u>18</u>=<u>3x</u>
3 3
6=x
x=6
Commission = 6% of sales
" 6% " means 0.06
" of " means "times"
Commission = (0.06) x (sales)
$300 = (0.06) x (sales)
Divide each side by 0.06 : $300 / 0.06 = sales
<em> $5,000 = sales </em>
