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>

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I'll do them you arrange.

x +  (x - 1) > 5

If you start with 3 you will see that the answer is that the left equals the right. So 4 is the smallest number x can have

3 + (3 - 1)>5

6 - 1 = 5 not something greater than 5

4 + (4 - 1) > 5

8 - 1 > 5

7 > 5 which is true.

Answer 4

5x - 3x > 9

2x > 9          x must equal 5

2*5 > 9

10 > 9

Answer 5

6x - 14 > 3       add 14 to both sides.

6x - 14+14>3+14

6x > 17            The answer to equality is just about 3. So three is the answer

6*3 > 17

18 > 17

Answer 3

2x - 1 > 0           Add 1 to both sides.

2x > 1                 1 is the answer

2*1 > 1

2 > 1

Answer 1

So all you need do is place them in order. The last one goes first and then the second last one.
