the commision comparison

commision rate =7.2 salary/wages=100 weekly sales total=what we need to found weekly TOTAL=1364

Answer 1

To find the weekly sales total based on the given commission rate, salary/wages, and total earnings, we can use the following approach.

1. **Known Values**:
- Commission Rate (C) = 7.2% = 0.072
- Salary/Wages (S) = $100
- Weekly Total Earnings (T) = $1364

2. **Total Earnings Calculation**:
The total earnings is the sum of the salary and the commission from the sales. Therefore, we can express this as:

\[
T = S + (C \times \text{Weekly Sales Total})
\]

3. **Substituting the known values**:
\[
1364 = 100 + (0.072 \times \text{Weekly Sales Total})
\]

4. **Isolate the commission part**:
\[
1364 - 100 = 0.072 \times \text{Weekly Sales Total}
\]
\[
1264 = 0.072 \times \text{Weekly Sales Total}
\]

5. **Solving for the Weekly Sales Total**:
\[
\text{Weekly Sales Total} = \frac{1264}{0.072}
\]
\[
\text{Weekly Sales Total} = 17555.56
\]

So, the weekly sales total is approximately **$17,555.56**.
