Answer: Option 'b' is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Amount of commission = $128

Rate of commission = 5%

Let the amount of his sales be 'x'.

According to question, we get that

$\dfrac{5}{100}\times x=128\\\\0.05x=128\\\\x=\dfrac{128}{0.05}\\\\x=\$2560$

Hence, Option 'b' is correct.
