I’ve done this 3 different way and I’m still getting it wrong someone help I feel dumb

note: remember to take the comma out or ignore it. I put it in there to help make the number more readable

Explanation:

Let x be the value of the sale in dollars.

x-1900 represents the leftover amount that is over 1900

eg: if x = 2200, then x-1900 = 2200-1900 = 300 is the the leftover amount

taking 9% of (x-1900) leads to the expression 0.09(x-1900) and this expression must be 1000 since this is the extra amount of money the salesman needs (he already has $1000 in base pay)

Solve for x

0.09(x-1900) = 1000

x-1900 = 1000/0.09

x-1900 = 11,111.11111 approximately

x = 11,111.11111 + 1900

x = 13011.1111

x = 13,011.11 rounding to the nearest cent

answer: you need to organize this better it does not make sense.
