Question

Clobber sells vacuum cleaners he gets to keep one eighth of his sales as commission how much would he sell in order to earn 1000

Answer 1

Answer:

sales of $8000

Step-by-step explanation:

Clobber sells vacuum cleaners he gets to keep one eighth of his sales as commission. We are asked to find  how much would he sell in order to earn $1000.

Let the sales made be x

Commission earned on sale of $x = $\frac{1}{8}$ th of x

that is

commission earned = $\frac{x}{8}$

If commission need to be $1000

$\frac{x}{8}=1000$

$x=1000 \times 8$

x=8000

Hence, Clobber need to make a sale of $8000 to earn $1000 as commission
