Question

Chase wants to earn at least $900 this month in commission. What is the minimum amount he needs to sell in order to earn $900 if he earns a 3.3% commission on everything he sells? Round to the nearest dollar.

Answer 1

Answer:

$27,272.73= sales

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Desired commission= $900

Commission rate= 3.3% = 0.033 of sales

To calculate the sales required, we need to use the following formula:

Commission= sales*commission rate

900= sales*0.033

900/0.033= sales

$27,272.73= sales

Answer 2

Answer: $27,273

Step-by-step explanation:   900a=3.3100                 Write the proportion. Let a represent the amount he needs to sell.

    900a=3.3100                 Because  3.3×272.72=900 , multiply 100 by  272.72  to find a.

90027.271=3.3100                100 ×  272.72  ≈ 27,273,  so a = 27,273.

Chase needs to sell $27,273 to earn $900 in commission.
