Question

Xavier is a salesperson who is paid a fixed amount of $455 per week. He also earns a commission of 3% on the sales he makes. If Xavier wants to earn more than $575 in one week, how many dollars (x) in sales must he make?

Answer 1

He needs to make $4,000 in sales in order to hit $575 so if he earns more than $4,000 in sales then he will exceed his goal. I did 575-455=120 to see how much he needs. Then I did 0.03×4=0.12. Well if you add 0's you will get 120 because the decimal will move so then I added 3 0's to get 0.03×4,000=120. Hope this helped.
