Question

Answer 1

Answer:

The amount of money he makes in sale to earn enough commission is $22,000 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The salary offered for the first job = $32000 annually

The salary offered for the second job = $10,000 annually + 8% per sales commission

Now, let the number of sale make by Kayleen to earn commission to make more money at second job = n sales

Now, According to question

The salary offered for the first job = The salary offered for the second job + 8% of number of sales

Or, $32,000 = $10,000 + 8% of n

Or, $32,000 - $10,000 = $\frac{8}{100}$×n

Or, $22,000 = 0.08×n

∴  n = $\frac{22,000}{0.08}$

I.e n = 275,000

So, The amount of money he makes in sale to earn enough commission =  8% of n

I,e The amount of money he makes in sale to earn enough commission =  0.08×275,000

Or,  The amount of money he makes in sale to earn enough commission =  $22,000

Hence, The amount of money he makes in sale to earn enough commission is $22,000 . Answer
