Question

Carmen sells electronics. She made a 10% commission on every dollar sale that she makes. One month Carmen got a commission check for $2,500. What were her sales in dollars that month?

Answer 1

Answer:

$25,000 were her sales in dollars that month.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the sales made by Cameron in a month be x.

Percentage of sales Cameron receives as a commission = 10%

Amount received as a commission = $2,500

Percentage of sales Cameron receives as a commission :

$10\%=\frac{\ 2,500}{x}\times 100$

$x=\frac{\ 2,500}{10}\times 100=\ 25,000$

$25,000 were her sales in dollars that month.

Answer 2

Well you would first would take 100% and divide by 10% to get 10, so you would then multiply 10 by 2500 to get 25000 dollars.
