Question

Answers

B. $2333.33
C. $2000
D. $45

Answer 1

Let's call Doug's sales for the week "x".

We know that Doug earns $50 per week plus 15% of his weekly sales, or 0.15x.

Therefore, the total amount Doug earns in a week is $50 + 0.15x.

Since we know that Doug made $350 in one week, we can set up the equation:

$350 = $50 + 0.15x

Subtracting $50 from both sides:

$300 = 0.15x

Dividing both sides by 0.15:

$300 / 0.15 = x

x = $2000

Therefore, Doug's sales for that week were $2000.

So, the answer is:

C. $2000
