Mrs.Ocosta is paid a 5% commission on her sales each week. I addition, she receives a base salary of $375. What should the amount of her sales be for the week if she hopes to make at least $600 this week?
Let S be the amount of her sales for the week....and we have:
.05S + 375 = 600 subtract 375 from both sides
.05S = 225 divide both sides by ,05
S = $4500
