7) A salesperson earned $300 a week plus a bonus of $18 for each service contract sold. 1

the pay one week was $408 how many service contracts were sold?

6 service contracts were sold.

Step-by-step explanation:

A salesperson earned $300 a week plus a bonus of $18 for each service contract sold.

Weekly Salary = 300W + 18X

where W = number of weeks and X = number of service contracts sold.

the pay one week was $408 how many service contracts were sold?

Weekly Salary = $408

W = 1 week

408 = 300 (1) + 18X

408 = 300 + 18X

408 - 300 = 18X

108 = 18X

108/18 = X

6 = X

6 contracts

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the number of contracts sold we must subtract the earning from the money earned and then divide the extra money earned by 18. We get the answer as 408 - 300 = 108. 108:18 = 6

hence 6 contracts were sold.
