Sarah works for a sales company and earns $1500 a month. She also earns $45 for every sale she makes
A) whats the equation
B)How much money for 10 sales
C)if she makes $2,535 how much did she sell
A) The equation relating Sarah's earnings to the number of sales she makes can be represented as follows:
Earnings = Base Salary + (Number of Sales × Commission per Sale)
Earnings = $1500 + ($45 × Number of Sales)
B) To calculate how much money Sarah will make from 10 sales, we can substitute the value of "10" for the number of sales in the equation:
Earnings = $1500 + ($45 × 10)
Earnings = $1500 + $450
Earnings = $1950
Therefore, Sarah will earn $1950 for 10 sales.
C) To find out how much Sarah sold based on her earnings of $2535, we can rearrange the equation:
Earnings = $1500 + ($45 × Number of Sales)
$2535 = $1500 + ($45 × Number of Sales)
Next, we can isolate the term with the number of sales:
$2535 - $1500 = ($45 × Number of Sales)
$1035 = $45 × Number of Sales
Finally, we can calculate the number of sales:
Number of Sales = $1035 / $45
Number of Sales ≈ 23
Therefore, Sarah sold approximately 23 items to make $2535.
A) The equation to calculate Sarah's earnings in a month can be expressed as:
Total Earnings = Base Salary + (Number of Sales * Earnings per Sale)
In this case, the base salary is $1500 and she earns $45 for every sale. Therefore, the equation is:
Total Earnings = $1500 + ($45 * Number of Sales)
B) To calculate how much money Sarah would earn for 10 sales, we can substitute the number of sales into the equation. In this case:
Total Earnings = $1500 + ($45 * 10)
Total Earnings = $1500 + $450
Total Earnings = $1950
Therefore, Sarah would earn $1950 for 10 sales.
C) To find out how much Sarah sold if she made $2,535, we need to rearrange the equation. Using the original equation:
Total Earnings = $1500 + ($45 * Number of Sales)
$2535 = $1500 + ($45 * Number of Sales)
Next, we can subtract $1500 from both sides of the equation to isolate the term containing the variable:
$2535 - $1500 = ($45 * Number of Sales)
$1035 = ($45 * Number of Sales)
Finally, we can divide both sides of the equation by $45 to solve for the number of sales:
Number of Sales = $1035 / $45
Number of Sales ≈ 23
Therefore, Sarah sold approximately 23 items if she made $2,535.
