Answer 1

Answer:

$62,500.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that the top seller this month will win a trip to the Bahamas for a week, paid in full. Last year's winner exceeded the goal by 125%. This year goal is $50,000.

To find the least amount that one should make to win a trip to the Bahamas, we will find 125% of 55,000.  

$\text{One should make}=\frac{125}{100}\times 50,000$

$\text{One should make}=125\times 500$

$\text{One should make}=62,500$

Therefore, to win a trip to the Bahamas one should make at least $62,500.
