Norma Jean makes $25 per hour. She works 35 hours per week. She gets a commission of 15% on her total sales. How much should Nor

Answer:

$24166.67

Step-by-step explanation:

Norma Jean earns $25 hourly and works 35 hours per week.

Her earnings without commission total 35 * 25 = $875

Total commission earned by Norma = 4500 - 875 = $3625

Let the total sales made by Norma be x

15% can be expressed as 15/100

Thus, (15/100) * x = 3625 Multiplying both sides by 100

15x = 362500 Rearranging for x

x = 362500/15

x = 24 166.67

Norma should achieve total sales amounting to $24166.67

Answer: total sales amounting to $24167

Step-by-step explanation:

Norma Jean's standard pay is $25 for each hour of work.

Let x signify her weekly sales total.

She works for 35 hours each week, receiving a 15% commission on her total sales. This indicates that her commission from sales worth $x will be

15/100 × x = 0.15 × x = 0.15x

Consequently, with total sales of $x per week, her overall compensation would be

35 × 25 + 0.15x

= 875 + 0.15x

Thus, to reach $4,500 within a week, her sales amount must satisfy:

4500 = 875 + 0.15x

0.15x = 4500 - 875 = 3625

x = 3625/0.15

x = $24167
