Question

Rodger gets $40 per day as wages and $4.50 as commission for ever paid of shoes he sells in a day. His daily earning goal is $112
Write an equation to determine how many paired of shoes, p, Rodger must sell in a day to meet his goal

Answer 1

112 = 40 + 4.50p

Subtract 40 from both sides

72 = 4.50p

Divide both sides by 4.50

16 = s

40 + 4.50*16 = 112

40 + 72 = 112

He would need to sell 16 pairs of shoes to meet his goal.

Answer 2

Answer:  p= (112-40)/4.50

p =16

Step-by-step explanation:

(112-40)/4.50 =16
