Question

If Sandy usually earns $88 plus 11% sales each week. What if she earns $154 one week. What is the % sales she earned that week when she earned $154?

Would the answer be 600?

Answer 1

Yes. That's correct.

Answer 2

Would you know how to get the answer 600 because I solved it differently and did not get 600

Answer 3

Here's what I did.

154 - 88 = 66

0.11x = 66
x = 600

Answer 4

I thought I had cross multiply.
88/154 = .11/x

Answer 5

Your fractions for the proportion are not equivalent.

Do you understand what I did?

Answer 6

yes
