B. $2333.33
C. $2000
D. $45
Let's call Doug's sales for the week "x".
We know that Doug earns $50 per week plus 15% of his weekly sales, or 0.15x.
Therefore, the total amount Doug earns in a week is $50 + 0.15x.
Since we know that Doug made $350 in one week, we can set up the equation:
$350 = $50 + 0.15x
Subtracting $50 from both sides:
$300 = 0.15x
Dividing both sides by 0.15:
$300 / 0.15 = x
x = $2000
Therefore, Doug's sales for that week were $2000.
So, the answer is:
C. $2000
