Question

commision rate=7.2% salary=100 a day weekly sales total= what needs to be found weekly TOTAL=1364

Answer 1

To find the weekly sales total based on the provided commission rate, salary, and total weekly earnings, we can set up the equation based on the components of the total earnings.

### Given:
- Commission rate = 7.2% = 0.072
- Daily salary = $100
- Weekly salary = $100 * 7 days = $700
- Weekly total earnings = $1364

### Calculation Steps:
1. **Calculate the total earned from sales**:
\[
\text{Total earnings} = \text{Salary} + \text{Commission from sales}
\]
\[
1364 = 700 + \text{Commission from sales}
\]

2. **Calculate the commission from sales**:
\[
\text{Commission from sales} = 1364 - 700 = 664
\]

3. **Set up the equation for sales**:
The commission is 7.2% of the total sales. Let \( S \) be the total weekly sales.
\[
0.072S = 664
\]

4. **Solve for \( S \)**:
\[
S = \frac{664}{0.072} = 9222.22
\]

So, the weekly sales total is approximately **$9222.22**.
