Question

A salesman gets a basic wage of £160 per week plus a commision of 30% of the sales he makes that week. In one week his total wage was £640 Work out the value of the sales he made that week.

Answer 1

Answer:

£1600.

Step-by-step explanation:

The commission he earns in the week = 640 - 160 = £480.

This 480 is 30 percent or 0.30 of the value of his sales, so

the value of his sales = 480 / 0.30

= £1600.
