Entar an equation that can be used to find the commission percentage (x), if the clerk's daily sales are $1375 and his total earnings for that day are $180.

Respuesta :

Answer:

The commission percentage is [tex]x=2.18\%[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The commission percentage (x) multiplied by Clerk's daily sales of $1,375 plus $150 must be equal to $180

so

The linear equation that represent this situation is

[tex]1,375x+150=180[/tex]

Solve for x

[tex]1,375x=180-150[/tex]

[tex]1,375x=30[/tex]

[tex]x=0.0218[/tex]

Convert to percentage

[tex]x=0.0218*100=2.18\%[/tex]
