Question

Emilio’s pay varies directly with the number of sales he makes. He made 22 sales and earned $154.

Answer 1

154/22 sales = $7/sale 
$7/sale(35 sales) = $245 
He will earn $245 for 35 sales.

Answer 2

154 divided by 22 is 7, so whatever he is selling costs 7 dollars. To find how much he makes when selling 35 just multiply 35 by 7.

35x7=245

Final answer: $245
