Mrs. Bonilla is a saleswoman at a furniture store. Her commission on rugs is 10% and her commission on furniture is 15%. Her goal is to make $6000 in commissions next month. If she sells 12,500 worth of furniture, what must be the total value of the rugs she sells?

Respuesta :

she makes 10% commission on furniture...
if she sells 12,500 in furniture.....0.10(12500) = 1250 commission pay

1250 + 0.15x = 6000
0.15x = 6000 - 1250
0.15x = 4750
x = 4750/0.15
x = 31,666.67 <===
