Answer:
sales of $8000
Step-by-step explanation:
Clobber sells vacuum cleaners he gets to keep one eighth of his sales as commission. We are asked to find how much would he sell in order to earn $1000.
Let the sales made be x
Commission earned on sale of $x = [tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex] th of x
that is
commission earned = [tex]\frac{x}{8}[/tex]
If commission need to be $1000
[tex]\frac{x}{8}=1000[/tex]
[tex]x=1000 \times 8[/tex]
x=8000
Hence, Clobber need to make a sale of $8000 to earn $1000 as commission
