Question

Susan sells computer systems. Her annual base salary is $34,000. She also earns a com- mission of 1.2% on the sale price of all computer systems that she sells. For what value of the com- puter systems sold will Susan's annual salary be at least $100,000?

Answer 1

Answer:

Susan needs to sell 5.5 million dollars worth

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find that, we first need to find how much she made in commissions. We can find this by subtracting the base by the goal salary.

100,000 - 34,000 = 66,000

Since she needs to make $66,000 in commissions and gets 1.2%, we can find the amount she needs to sell by dividing the total by the percentage.

66,000/.012 = 5,500,000
