So far this month John calculated that he will earn $40 in comission for his $500 in product sales. If John would like his comission to be $320,How much will his product sales need to be? Show work please​

Respuesta :

John made $40 commissions for $500 sales or 40/500. He wants $320 for an unknown amount of sales or 320/x.

40/500=320/x Cross multiply.

40x=160,000

Divide both sides by 40.

X=4,000

He needs his sales to be $4,000 to get $320 in commission.
