salary of $600 plus 8% of all monthly sales. What should the monthly
sales be so that her monthly salary reaches $1,800?

Answer 1

Answer:

Monthly sales = $15000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the monthly sale.

Given:

The monthly salary of a show room attendant is the sum of a fixed  salary of $600 plus 8% of all monthly sales.

8% of monthly sale = $\frac{8}{100}\times mothly\ sale$

8% of monthly sale = $\frac{8}{100}\times x$

So, the monthly salary of attendant is.

$Monthly\ salary = 600+8\ percent \ of\ monthly\ sales$

$Monthly\ salary = 600+\frac{8}{100}\times x$

Monthly salary is given.

$1800 = 600+\frac{8}{100}\times x$

$1800 - 600 = \frac{8}{100}\times x$

$1200 = \frac{8}{100}\times x$

$x=\frac{1200\times 100}{8}$

$x=\frac{120000}{8}$

$x=15000$

Therefore, the monthly sale is $15000
