Tito receives a weekly salary of $400 at an appliance store. He also receives a 6% commission on the total dollar amount of all sales he makes. What must his total sales be in a week if he is to make a total of $760?
6% = 6 / 100 = 0.06
t = Tito's salary
Tito's salary is $400 + 6% of weekly sales.
x = weekly sales.
t = $400 + 0.06 x
$760 = $400 + 0.06 x
Subtract $400 to both sides.
$360 = 0.06 x
$360 / 0.06 = x
$6000 = x
x = $6000
