Question

commision rate=5% salary=30 weekly sales total= what needs to be found weekly TOTAL=1550

Answer 1

To find the weekly sales total given the commission rate, salary, and total weekly earnings, we can use the following formula:

1. **Total Earnings** = Salary + Commission
2. **Commission** = Commission Rate × Weekly Sales Total

Given:
- Commission Rate = 5% (or 0.05)
- Salary = 30
- Total Weekly Earnings = 1550

We can set up the equation:

\[
1550 = 30 + (0.05 \times \text{Weekly Sales Total})
\]

Now, we can solve for the Weekly Sales Total.

First, subtract the salary from the total earnings:

\[
1550 - 30 = 0.05 \times \text{Weekly Sales Total}
\]
\[
1520 = 0.05 \times \text{Weekly Sales Total}
\]

Next, divide both sides by 0.05 to find the Weekly Sales Total:

\[
\text{Weekly Sales Total} = \frac{1520}{0.05}
\]
\[
\text{Weekly Sales Total} = 30400
\]

So, the weekly sales total is **$30,400**.
