Answer 1

Answer:

1. $60
2. 103 sales

Explanation:

1. The sweater was originally priced at $80 and then got marked down by 25%. The new price is;

= 80 * ( 1 - 25%)

= 80 * 0.75

= $60

2. Terry earns a basic salary of $250 plus $5 per sale. To make a total of $765, from sales commission alone Terry must make;

= 765 - 250

= $515

Sales to make = 515/5

= 103 sales
