Well, the commission should total $1,800. This is one tenth of what he sells, so he must sell $18,000 value of merchandise.

Answer:

$18,000


Step-by-step explanation:

Target is 3000, out of which 1200 will already be earned from salary. So he needs 3000 - 1200 = 1800 from commissions.


As we know, 10% is the commission rate, we need to know <u><em>"Which numbers' 10% will give us 1800??"</em></u>


Thus let total sales be x, so we can write 0.1x=18,000

Solving gives us:

0.1x=1800\\x=\frac{1800}{0.1}=18,000


He needs to sell $18,000 worth of merchandise to meet his income target for July.

Answer:

0.667

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle in a circle = 360°

Area of total shaded parts = 60 + 60 = 120°

Area of total unshaded parts = 360-120 = 240°

Probability that a random selected point within the circle falls in the unshaded area

= 240/360

= 2/3

≈ 0.667

I apologize in advance if I made a mistake.
