Answer: $30,000

Norma earns 15% on her sales

She aims to earn 4500

4500 divided by 15 equals 300 (which provides us with 1%)
300 times 100 equals 30,000 (which gives us 100%)

Answer:

$24,166.67

Step-by-step explanation:

Let’s break it down:

Norma Jean earns a fixed rate of $25 per hour and puts in 35 hours each week.

Based on what was stated, Jean would earn => 25 × 35 = $875 per week without any commission.

To reach $4500 weekly, we can set up an equation as follows:

875 + x = 4500; where x represents the commission Jean needs to earn to reach $4500 for that week => x = 4500-875; x = $3625.

Let y denote the sales required for Jean to obtain commission x, giving us the equation: 0.15 × y = x.

y = x ÷ 0.15 => 3625 ÷ 0.15

y = 24166.67.

Thus, to reach her goal of $4500 within a week, Jean should generate sales amounting to $24,166.67.
