A Salesperson is paid $22,000 a year plus 5% of the amount of sales made. What is the amount of sales needed to have an annual income greater than $35,000?


s > $260,000

s> $2,600

s > $700,000

s > $678,000

Verified Answer :

so income = 22000 + .05x where x is the amount in sales.

35000 = 22000 + .05x subtract 22000 from both sides or

13000 = .5x then divide both sides by .5 and he must sell MORE THAN

13000/.05 or 260,000
