A sales agent makes 40 calls a day. About 15% he calls result in a sale. How many days will it take for the sales agent to meet a quota of 120 sales?

20 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the sale agent makes 40 calls a day and about 15% he calls result in a sale. This means the number of sales will be:

= 15% × 40

= 0.15 × 40

= 6

6 sales out of every 40 calls per day.

The number of calls to make 120 sales will be:

= 15% of x = 120

0.15 × x = 120

0.15x = 120

x = 120/0.15

x = 800 calls

Since he needs 800 calls and he makes 40 calls per day, the number of days needed will be:

= 800/40

= 20 days
