Question

I said associate at an art gallery every week and $300 plus a 4% Commission of on her sales. this week she earns $327. how much were made as art sale this week

Answer 1

Let x represent the amount of all her sales for the week. We were told that each week she earns 300 dollar plus a 4% Commission of all her sales.

Recall, percentage is expressed in terms of 100. Thus, 4% of her sales would be

4/100 * x = 0.04x

If she earned 327 dollars this week, it means that

0.04x + 300 = 327

0.04x = 327 - 300

0.04x = 27

x = 27/0.04

x = 675

Mia's art sale this week was $675
