27) Jerry works as a salesman for Harold Newman. x He is paid a basic salary of \( \$ 750 \) per month, and he also earns a commission of \( 1.5 \% \) on his monthly sales. His total salary in June was \( \$ 1086.75 \). What was Jerry's monthly sales for the month of June? A. \( \$ 22450 \) B. \( \$ 21075 \) C. \( \$ 27350 \) D. \( \$ 24600 \)

To find Jerry's monthly sales for June, we can set up the equation based on his total salary. We know he earns a base salary of \( \$750 \) and a commission of \( 1.5\% \) of his sales. Let \( S \) be Jerry's sales. The equation for his total salary can be represented as: \[ 750 + 0.015S = 1086.75 \] Now, we can solve for \( S \): 1. Subtract \( 750 \) from both sides: \[ 0.015S = 1086.75 - 750 \] \[ 0.015S = 336.75 \] 2. Now, divide both sides by \( 0.015 \): \[ S = \frac{336.75}{0.015} = 22450 \] Therefore, Jerry's monthly sales for June was \( \$ 22450 \). The answer is A. \( \$ 22450 \).
