Tommy sold $1800. (a) What fraction of the total sales did each salesperson sell? (b) A $100 bonus was awarded to the three salespeople, which they had to share.

A.) First, you find the total sales. $2030 + $1540 + $1800 = $5370. Then, divide each with the total. The answer would be:

Lola: 203/537
Ahmed: 154/537
Tommy: 60/179

b.) Divide 100 by 3 for equal shares. Each person receives $33.3.

Answer: a) Fraction of the total sales did each salesperson sell:-

\text{Lola}=\frac{203}{537}

\text{Ahmed}=\frac{154}{537}

\text{Tommy}=\frac{180}{537}

b) Each person receive=$33

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The three salespeople for a local advertising firm are Lola, Ahmed, and Tommy.

Sales by Lola= $2030

Sales by Ahmed=$1540

Sales by Tommy=$1800

Thus, the total sales= $2030+$1540+$1800=$5370

Fraction of the total sales did each salesperson sell:-

\text{Lola}=\frac{\text{Sales by Lola}}{\text{total sales}}=\frac{2030}{5370}=\frac{203}{537}

\text{Ahmed}=\frac{\text{Sales by Ahmed}}{\text{total sales}}=\frac{1540}{5370}=\frac{154}{537}

\text{Tommy}=\frac{\text{Sales by Tommy}}{\text{total sales}}=\frac{1800}{5370}=\frac{180}{537}

If $100 bonus was awarded to the three salespeople, then

Each person receive=\frac{\$100}{3}=33.33\approx\$33

diamong [38]
96% is the answer 100%/x%=125/120
(100/x)*x=(125/120)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.04166666667*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.04166666667) to get x
100/1.04166666667=x
96=x
x=96
