Leslye is a salesperson at a home improvement center. she is paid a monthly commission that is 7.5% of her first $1,000 in sales and 12% of the balance of her sales. today she earned $517. what was the total value of merchandise sold?

She sold for $4683.33

Step-by-step explanation:

For a sales of $1000 she is paid 7.5% which is equivalent to $75.

Since she earned $517 , her total sales was more than $1000.

Let she had a sales of $(1000+x).

Then her commission would be $75 + 12% of $x .

But her total commission was $517.

Then commission from sales after she sold for $1000 = $(517 - 75)

                                         = $442

This is also equal to 12% of x.

x = $3683.33

Hence she sold for $4683.33

the volume is the product of the area of the base, 3x(3x+4), and the height, 3x-1
