Liliana earns $475.00 a week plus 6% commission on her sales. What amount would she have to sell to earn $1248 a week?
Solution
To solve this problem, we first need to determine how much more Liliana needs to earn to reach her goal of $1248 a week.
-
Subtract her base salary from her goal: 475 = $773. This is the amount she needs to earn from her commission.
-
Next, we need to figure out how much she needs to sell to earn $773 in commission. Since her commission rate is 6%, we can set up the following equation to solve for her sales (S):
0.06 * S = $773
-
To solve for S, divide both sides of the equation by 0.06:
S = $773 / 0.06
-
Solve the equation to find the amount she needs to sell:
S = $12,883.33
So, Liliana would need to sell approximately 1248 in a week.
