Nojo king sells vacuum cleaners. Each week he earns $200 plus 8% of his sales. How much did he earn last week if his sales totaled $3200?
8 percent of $3200 plus $200
200 +8X = 3200 8X = 3200 - 200 8X = 3000 X = 3000/8 X = $375
If $3200 is his sales for the week, the 8% works on that part of the problem. 8% OF 3200 = 0.08 X 3200 = 256 So, eight percent of sales earnings = $256 Regular weekly earnings = $200 Total earnings = $200 + $256 = $456 --------------------------------------... Nojo King doesn't earn $200 a month plus 8% of sales does he? That would be more complicated.
