Answer 1

We are given the following information.

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

We are asked to determine the monthly sales for which her monthly salary reaches $1,800.

Let y be the monthly salary and x be the monthly sales.

Then we can set up the following equation

$y=600+0.08x$

Where 600 is the fixed salary and 0.08x is 8% of all monthly sales.

Substitute y = $1,800 into the equation and solve for x.

$\begin{gathered} 1800=600+0.08x \\ 1800-600=0.08x \\ 1200=0.08x \\ \frac{1200}{0.08}=x \\ 15,000=x \\ x=\ 15,000 \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the monthly sales are $15,000.
