A sales person gets a 10% commission on each sale he makes. How many sales of $250 each must he make in order to reach a salary of at least $1000?
Correct answer: D
Explanation
10% of 250 = 25.
Total salary required = 1000
Earning from single sale = 25
# of sales = 1000/25 =40
So 40 sales
D is the correct choice
