Kyle sells used cars. He is paid $14/hour plus and 8% commission on sales. What dollar amount of car sales must Kyle make to earn $1200 in a 38-h work week?

Sagot :

First we have to find how much Kyle earned taking to consideration only 38h at work
So 38*14$=532$ 
Now, to find commission bonus we have to 1200-532=668
Finally, we can find what dollar amount of car Kyle must sell.
We know that 668 is 8% of that number. We can use proportion and cross multiplying, so:
8% ----------- 668
100% --------x
[tex]x= \frac{100*668}{8}=8350 [/tex]$ - its the result.
