a sales person set a goal to earn $5,000 in June. He or she, receives a base salary of 4,000 per month as well as a 25% commission for all the sales that month. What does the person's sales have to be this month for them to reach the goal?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

4,000 + 0.25x = 5,000 ...with x representing the amount of sales

0.25x = 5,000 - 4,000

0.25x = 1,000

x = 1,000 / 0.25

x = $ 4,000 <===== he needs to sell $ 4,000 worth of stuff
