So he needs to sell $2,000 in merchandise.
what is the total value of merchandise he needs to sell?
We can assume that we have a proportional relation:
y = k*x
Where y is the commission and x is what Norman sells, then:
$15 = k*$200
k = $200/$15 = 0.075
$37.50 = k*$500
k = $500/$37.50 = 0.075
Then the relation is:
y = 0.075*x
If he wants a commission of $150, then:
$150 = 0.075*x
$150/0.075 = x = $2,000
So he needs to sell $2,000 in merchandise.
