If you would like to know the amount of sales that Marcus will be able to pay his bills, you can calculate this using the following steps:

s ... amount of sales

$1500 + 15% of s > = $2430

1500 + 15% * s > = 2430

15/100 * s > = 2430 - 1500

15/100 * s > = 930

s > = 930 * 100/15

s > = $6200

The correct result would be $6200.
