Honestly, math is not my strong suite.
" On a sales job employees are told that approximately 39% of the people you give a sales pitch to will buy something. The average purchase dollar amount is $40.00. An employee wants to earn $1,000 in sales. What’s the least number of people they should give the sales pitch to, if the above statistics are correct? (Remember we are assuming that only 39% of the people they ask will buy something) "
This is the problem I am working on. I just don't know how to get started. I tried the percent problem, where : $40/$1,000 = x/100 I know it's not right, but I'm really lost.
any hint or any help at all would be grateful.
