A salesperson works 40 hours per week at a job where he has two options for being paid. Option A is an hourly wage of 18$. Option B is a commission rate of 8% on weekly sales. How much does he need to sell this week to earn the same amount with the two options?

$9000

Step-by-step explanation:

First find how much is made in a week by option A

40*18=720

In order to match this the salesperson must make $720 from 8% commissions. Divide 720 by 0.08 to get the necessary sales for $720 from commissions.

720/0.08=9000

Final answer is 9000 in sales.

$53.50

step-by-step explanation:

you have to subtract the amount of money chuck earned ($72.50) by the cost of the gas for the mower ($11.25) and the new string for the trimmer he bought ($7.75).

72.50-11.25=61.25

and then subtract $61.25 by the second thing he bought (the new string for the trimmer)

61.25-7.75=53.5

so in total it's $53.50 (53 dollars and 50 cents)

41*67/2=1373.5
