Alan has an annual base salary of $24,000. In addition to his salary, he earns 8% of his total sales (S). If he wants to earn at least $40,000 next year, how much does he need to sell?

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

we are told that the base salary is $24000

and also earns 8% of the total sale

let the total sales be x

additional earnings= 0.8x

the linear function for this situation is  given as

y=0.8x+c

where y= the expected earning

           x= sales

            c= is the base salary

40000=0.8x+24000

solve for x

40000-24000=0.8x

16000=0.8x

divide both sides by 0.8

x=16000/0.8

x=20000

He needs to make sales of at least $20,000
