Question

Andre has been offered an entry-level job. The company offered him $43,000 per year plus 3.5% of his total sales. Andre knows that the average pay for this job is $57,000. What would Andre's total sales (in dollars) need to be for his pay to be at least as high as the average pay for this job?

Answer 1

Answer:

His total sales would need to be at least $16,285.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because the percentage of money that they would give him on top of his sales is 3.5%. To find out the answer of how much he would be paid if he sold the average amount, we would need to plugin the numbers then reverse the process. This would be:

57000 divided by 3.5 to get $16,285.

Hope this helps
