Tito receives a weekly salary of ​$400 at an appliance store. He also receives a 6​% commission on the total dollar amount of all sales he makes. What must his total sales be in a week if he is to make a total of ​$760​?

Answer 1

6% = 6 / 100 = 0.06

t = Tito's salary

Tito's salary is $400 + 6% of weekly sales.

x = weekly sales.

t = $400 + 0.06 x

$760 = $400 + 0.06 x

Subtract $400 to both sides.

$360 = 0.06 x

$360 / 0.06 = x

$6000 = x

x = $6000
