Chandler earns a base pay of 2200 per month. He also earns a 4% commission of his total sales. One month Chandler earned 2400$. How much were his total sales?

Question

Explain how to find Chandler's total sales for that month.

Answer 1

His salary would be 2200 + .04x (Base salary + 4% of sales, X represents sales)

 

In this situation, we'd have 2200 + .04x = 2400

.04x = 200

X=5000

 

$5000 in sales
