Question

commision rate=7.2% salary=100 a day weekly sales total= we need to find total weekly TOTAL=1364

Answer 1

To find the total weekly sales based on the information provided, we can use the commission rate and the total weekly salary.

1. **Daily Salary**: $100
2. **Weekly Salary**: Since the salary is daily, multiply by the number of workdays in a week (assuming 5 days):
\[
\text{Weekly Salary} = 100 \, \text{(salary per day)} \times 5 \, \text{(days)} = 500
\]

3. **Total Weekly Earnings**: This includes salary plus commission. From your message:

\[
\text{Total Weekly Earnings} = 1364
\]

Since the Weekly Salary is $500, we can find the total commission earned:

\[
\text{Total Commission} = \text{Total Weekly Earnings} - \text{Weekly Salary} = 1364 - 500 = 864
\]

4. **Commission Rate**: Given that the commission rate is 7.2%, we can express the total commission as:
\[
\text{Total Commission} = \text{Total Sales} \times \frac{\text{Commission Rate}}{100}
\]

5. **Setting up the equation**:
\[
864 = \text{Total Sales} \times \frac{7.2}{100}
\]

6. **Solving for Total Sales**:
\[
\text{Total Sales} = \frac{864 \times 100}{7.2}
\]

\[
\text{Total Sales} = \frac{86400}{7.2} = 12000
\]

So, the total weekly sales amount to **$12,000**.
