Alice is a salesperson in a jewelry store and earns $110 per week, plus 15% of her weekly sales. If Alice makes $485 in one week, what are her sales for that week?(1 point)
Let's assume Alice's sales for the week are x.
Alice earns $110 per week, plus 15% of her weekly sales, which can be represented as 0.15x.
We can express the total amount Alice earns as $110 + 0.15x.
We know that her total earnings for the week are $485.
So, we can set up the equation:
110 + 0.15x = 485
Subtracting 110 from both sides of the equation:
0.15x = 485 - 110
0.15x = 375
Dividing both sides of the equation by 0.15:
x = 375 / 0.15
x = 2500
Therefore, Alice's sales for that week are $2500.
