Question

If i earn 6% commission how much do I have to sell to make $36.72 in commission?

 

Answer 1

Set up the problem this way: .06S = $36.72 where S represents Sales. 6% = .06

 

Divide both sides by .06 .06S/.06 = $36.72/.06

 

S = $612

 

You need $612 is sales to make $36.72 in commission.
