Sydney Clements · Answer 1

Let the sales of one product be x hence sales of the other product is (90000-x)

(4x/100) + (3 (90000-x) / 100) = 3330

x=63000

therefore sales of one product is 63000 and the other product is 27000

You would take 87,000 and divide it by 6 because his commission went up 6 percent and I got 14,500 but I'm not sure
