To achieve his income goal, how many listing presentations must the sales associate make monthly if he gets three listings in five presentations?

To determine how many listing presentations the sales associate must make to achieve his income goal, we can analyze the conversion rate of presentations to listings. The associate receives three listings from five presentations, indicating a conversion ratio of 3 listings per 5 presentations.

To find out how many presentations are necessary to achieve a specific number of listings, one can set up a proportional relationship. If the associate aims for a certain number of listings, say Y listings, the formula based on the conversion rate would be:

Presentations needed = (5 presentations / 3 listings) * Y listings.

For example, if the goal is to achieve 5 listings, it would be calculated as follows:

(5 / 3) * 5 = approximately 8.33 presentations would be required. Since he cannot conduct a fraction of a presentation, he would need to round up to the next whole number, which is 9 presentations.

However, the answer provided indicates monthly when the question is asking for a direct calculation based on the conversion proficiency. Hence, if the associate needs to maintain a consistent effort to ensure he meets his monthly listing goals according to the 3 to 5 ratio, he should plan to conduct a total of 5 presentations to maintain his conversion rate
