What is your income in a mont with $45000 in sales? What amount of sales do you need to ensure an income of $5500?

Explanation / Answer

1) Given 2000$ is the salary and 7% comission on the amount of sales.
So if y is the income and x is the amount of sales, the equation would be
y=2000+0.07x

2) As total sales are $45000, income would be
y=2000+0.07*45000=$5150

3)If income is $5500, then y=$5500. Amount of sales is given by,
5500=2000+0.07*x
x=3500/0.07=$50000
