Suppose you are a salesperson for

Acme Dynamite Co. Each month

you earn $2200 plus one fifteenth

of your sales. What must your

sales be this month to earn $4000?

27,000$ worth of sales

Step-by-step explanation:

What you need to earn - what you earn monthly = 1/6 of the amount you need to sell.

4000 - 2200 = 1800

1800 is ONE fifteenth of the sales.

1800 * 15 = 27,000.

You must sell MORE than $27,000 worth of sales in order to earn more than $4000.
