Alice is a salesperson in a jewelry store and earns $110 per week, plus 15% of her weekly sales. If Alice makes $485 in one week, what are her sales for that week?(1 point)

Answer 1

Let's assume Alice's sales for the week are x.

Alice earns $110 per week, plus 15% of her weekly sales, which can be represented as 0.15x.

We can express the total amount Alice earns as $110 + 0.15x.

We know that her total earnings for the week are $485.

So, we can set up the equation:
110 + 0.15x = 485

Subtracting 110 from both sides of the equation:
0.15x = 485 - 110
0.15x = 375

Dividing both sides of the equation by 0.15:
x = 375 / 0.15
x = 2500

Therefore, Alice's sales for that week are $2500.
