Doug is a salesperson in a retail store and earns $50 per week, plus 15% of his weekly sales. If Doug makes $350 one week, what are his sales for that week?
$52.50
$2333.33
$45
$2000
Let's assume Doug makes x dollars in sales for that week.
His earnings for that week are $50 plus 15% of his weekly sales, or $50 + 0.15x.
We can set up the equation:
$50 + 0.15x = $350
Subtract $50 from both sides:
0.15x = $300
Divide both sides by 0.15:
x = $2000
Therefore, Doug's sales for that week are $2000. The correct answer is $2000.
