    You'll need $2,500 in sales this week to end up with $600 in income for the week.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let s represent the dollar amount of the total sales for the week.

    The commission earned on such sales is 1/5, or 0.20, of s:

    Commission: 0.20s

    Then the correct expression for your weekly income is:

    $100 + 0.20s = $600.

    Solving for s, subtract $100 from both sides. Then 0.20s = $500, and through division we get s = $2,500.

    You'll need $2,500 in sales this week to end up with $600 in income for the week.
