What must the amount of his sales be for him to earn at least $1500 each month? (Let s = the amount of Jordan's sales)

1250 + (.05)s = 1500
.05s = 250
5s = 25000
s = 5000
needs at least $5,000 in sales

sales = s
1500 = 1250 +s*5%
5% = 5/100 = 1/20
1500 = 1250 +s/20
1500-1250=s/20
250=s/20
20*250=(s/20)*20
5000=s
sales of $5000

1250 + .05 = 1500
.05x=250
1/20x=250
multiply both by 20
x=250 x 20 = 5000
