Problem 4: As a salesman you are paid $250 per week plus $70 per sale. This week you want you pay to be at least $1,200. How many sales must you make to reach your goal?
Answer
12
13
14
15
16

14 sales

Step-by-step explanation:

1,200-250=950

70×14=970

We first need to subtract our normal pay out of the expectation.

1200-250=950 dollars

These 950 dollars have to be made from sales, and if each sale gives you 70 dollars, we just need to do simple division.

950/70=about 13.57

This meant that if we get 13 sales, we are not quite there at the goal yet, so we need to round up. Getting 14 as our answer.

b. 1.25 hr

step-by-step explanation:

if you have a constant speed of 60 mph, then you have a ratio between 60 mi. to 1 hr. dividing both sides by 60 we get the ratio

1 mi. to

then mult. both sides by 75 we get the ratio

75 mi. to

simplifying we get

75 mi. to

or 1.25 hr.
