Answer:
Note: I'm assuming that he keeps 1/8 of the money spent for himself.
If this is what the question was asking, then the answer would be:
Argyle must sell $4,000 worth of computers.
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we write an equation.
1/8n = $500
Note: n is the variable I'm using to represent the amount of money Argyle must sell to get $500 as commission.
Then, to get the value of n and to get rid of the fraction, we multiply both sides by 8:
1/8n * 8 = $500 * 8
= n = $4000
Therefore, Argyle must sell $4,000 worth of computers to keep 1/8 ($500) as commission.
