A salesperson set a goal to earn $3,000 in July. He receives a base salary of $1,200 per month as well as a 10% commission for all sales in that month. How many dollars of merchandise will he have to sell to meet his goal?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer:

$18,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Target is 3000, out of which 1200 will already be earned from salary. So he needs 3000 - 1200 = 1800 from commissions.

As we know, 10% is the commission rate, we need to know "Which numbers' 10% will give us 1800??"

Thus let total sales be x, so we can write 0.1x=18,000

Solving gives us:

$0.1x=1800\nx=(1800)/(0.1)=18,000$

He needs to sell $18,000 worth of merchandise to meet his income target for July.

Answer 2

Answer: Well, the commission should total $1,800. This is one tenth of what he sells, so he must sell $18,000 value of merchandise.

Sandy's orchard has only 4 apple trees for every 3 pear trees. She is wanting to plant enough avocado trees so that she has 2 avocado trees for every 5 trees. Sandy is planting 18 avocado trees, making the ratio of avocado trees be _ to _.

PLEASE HELP!

Answers

current ratio: 4 apple trees for every 3 pear trees. wants: 2 avocado trees for every 5 pear trees in the orchard. Sandy is planting 18 avocado trees so 2 avocado trees for every 5 pear trees =1 avocado trees for every 2.5 pear trees therefore if we have 18 avocado trees 18 x 2.5 = 45 pear trees 4 apple trees for every 3 pear trees 4/3 = 1.333 apple trees for every 1 pear tree therefore if we have 45 avocado trees 45 x 1.333 = 60 apple trees therefore ratio of avocado to apple trees = 18 : 60 18 : 60 = 9 : 30 = 3 : 10
