How many total listings must the sales associate take to achieve an average commission goal if two-thirds are expected to sell?

To determine how many total listings a sales associate needs to take in order to achieve an average commission goal, given that two-thirds of those listings are expected to sell, we can set up a calculation based on ratios.

Let's say the goal is to sell a certain number of properties to reach the commission goal. If two-thirds of the listings sell, that implies that for every three listings taken, two are expected to close. This ratio helps us understand how to scale the total number of listings based on the expected sales.

If we denote the total number of listings as "X," and we expect two-thirds to sell, then the number of properties sold would be (2/3)X. To find out how many listings need to be taken to achieve a given target (let's say it's 24 sales to achieve the desired commission), we can set up the equation:

(2/3)X = Target Sales

Assuming the target sales to achieve the goal is, for example, 24, the equation becomes:

(2/3)X = 24

To solve for X, you would multiply both sides of the equation by (3/2):

X = 24 * (3/2) = 36

Therefore,
