sells.last year, the stockbroker earned 72750 dollar. what was the total value of investments the stockbroker sold?

Respuesta :

Well his salary is $40,000 dollars.

$72,750 - $40,000 = $32,750

This means that 5% of the value of investments he had sold was equal to $32,750.

[tex]\frac { 1 }{ 20 } \times I=32750\\ \\ 20\times \frac { 1 }{ 20 } \times I=20\times 32750\\ \\ \therefore \quad I=655000[/tex]

The stockbroker sold $655,000 worth of investments.
