Answer:
$24,166.67
Step-by-step explanation:
Let carry out the breakdown:
So Norman Jean makes a flat rate of $25 per hour, also she works 35 hours per week.
From the above statement Jean will make => 25 × 35 = $875 in a single week without commission.
For Jean to make $4500 in a week, we derive an equation for this:
875 + x = 4500
x is the amount of commission Jean has to get in a week to make up to $4500 in that week => x = 4500-875; x = $3625.
Let y be the amount of sales Jean has to make to get a commission of x, we derive the following equation: 0.15 × y = x.
y = x ÷ 0.15 => 3625 ÷ 0.15
y = 24166.67
So for Jean to meet her target of $4500 in a single week, Jean needs to make a sale worth $24,166.67.
