Kaya Curtis · Answer 1

Susan needs to sell 5.5 million dollars worth

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find that, we first need to find how much she made in commissions. We can find this by subtracting the base by the goal salary.

100,000 - 34,000 = 66,000

Since she needs to make $66,000 in commissions and gets 1.2%, we can find the amount she needs to sell by dividing the total by the percentage.

66,000/.012 = 5,500,000
