Question

Saiah Copeland sells tennis equipment. He is guaranteed a minimum monthly salary of $1,500 per month plus 5.75% of his total sales. What are Isaiah's total sales for a month in which his gross pay was $2,075?

Answer 1

Answer:

Total sales= 10000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

monthly salary=$1500

commission on total sales= 5.75%

gross pay=$2,075

Firstly, let us deduct the salary

2075-1500=$575

so Saiah earned a commission of $575

let the total sales be x

so 5.75% of x= $575

5.75/100*x=576

0.0575x=575

x=575/0.0575

x=10000 sales
