Question

As a salesperson at an electronics store, Tyler earns a base salary of $45,000 per year plus $75 for each computer he sells (x). Predict how many computers Tyler must sell to earn $51,000 this year. A) 34 B) 68 C) 75 D) 80

Answer 1

Answer:

80

Step-by-step explanation:

To earn $51,000 he needs to earn $6,000 in commissions:

$51,000 - $45,000 base salary = $6,000

If he gets $75 for each computer he sells, he will need to sell ($6,000 / $75) computers.

That's 80 computers.

80 * $75 = $6,000

$45,000 + $6,000 $51,000
