Answer:
$480
Step-by-step explanation:
Perry makes 15% commission for each TV he sells.
How much would he have to sell a TV to get $72
First of all, let's call the unknown variable x
So 15% of x= $72
Mathematically, this would be represented as 15/100 * x= 72
15/100x= 72
Breaking down further,
15/100 can be broken down to 3/20
3/20x= 72
So to find the value of x, we divide both sides by 3/20
x= 72 ÷ 3/20
x= 72 * 20/3 (using the law of indices)
x= 1440/3
x= $480 dollars.
So, Perry would have to sell a TV for $480 to make a $72 commission.
