$24,166.67

Step-by-step explanation:

Let carry out the breakdown:

So Norman Jean makes a flat rate of $25 per hour, also she works 35 hours per week.

From the above statement Jean will make => 25 × 35 = $875 in a single week without commission.

For Jean to make $4500 in a week, we derive an equation for this:

875 + x = 4500

x is the amount of commission Jean has to get in a week to make up to $4500 in that week => x = 4500-875; x = $3625.

Let y be the amount of sales Jean has to make to get a commission of x, we derive the following equation: 0.15 × y = x.

y = x ÷ 0.15 => 3625 ÷ 0.15

y = 24166.67

So for Jean to meet her target of $4500 in a single week, Jean needs to make a sale worth $24,166.67.

step-by-step explanation:

you can add the two numbers and divide the result by 2. or you can find the gap between the two numbers and add half of this to the smaller number.
