Question

Sara sells dishwashers. She earns an 8% commission on sales. How much must he sell in order to earn $3000?

Answer 1

Well, if we look at a calculator and ask, what is 8% of 3000$ we get the answer of 240 dollars.

3000 - 8% = 2760 therefor we know it removes 240 dollars. So the commission is 240 dollars.
