$2000(12) + 4%(x) = $60,000
$24000-$24,000 + 4%(x) = $60,000 - $24,000
4%x = $36,000
4%x/4% = $36,000/4%
x = $900,000

Answer:

$900,000 merchandise.

Step-by-step explanation:

Salesman has a base salary of $2000 per month.

He makes additional 4% on every sale.

So expression for his earning will be

Earnings = 12(2000) + 4% of x

              = Where x is the additional on every sale

Earnings = 12(2000) + 0.04x

If earnings are $6,000 then

6,000 = 24000 + 0.04x

0.04x = 60,000 - 24,000

0.04x = 36,000

x = @@MATH_TOKEN_0@@ = $900,000 merchandise.
