Norma needs to make sales worth $
to make $4,500.

Respuesta :

Norma needs to make sales worth $24,166.67

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Per hour pay = $25

Number of hours per week = 35

Pay of 35 hours = 35*25 = $875

Commission = 15% = [tex]\frac{15}{100}=0.15[/tex]

Total amount to make = $4500

Let x represent the amount of sales.

Commission = 0.15x

Total pay per week = Pay of 35 hours + Commission

[tex]4500=875+0.15x\\4500-875=0.15x\\3625=0.15x\\0.15x=3625\\[/tex]

Dividing both sides by 0.15

[tex]\frac{0.15x}{0.15}=\frac{3625}{0.15}\\x=24166.67[/tex]

Norma needs to make sales worth $24,166.67
