Question

Kanica wants to earn at least $750 this week in commission. What is the minimum amount she needs to sell in order to earn $750 if she earns a 7.5% commission on everything she sells? Round your answer to the nearest dollar if necessary.

Answer 1

Total earning Kanica wants to make is at least $750

The commission she gets is 7.5 % Therefore to find the sales she should make we use :

(Total earnings * 100% )/ Commission

= (100 * 750) / 7.5

=75000/7.5

= $ 10,000
