Answer:

<em>$32,000</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = amount of sales

8% of sales is 8% of x, or 8% * x = 0.08x.

We are told that 0.08x is $2560.

We write that as an equation and solve it for x.

The equation is:

0.08x = 2560

To solve, we see that x is being multiplied by 0.08, and we want x alone, so we divide both sides by 0.08.

0.08x/0.08 = 2560/0.08

x = 32,000

Answer: $32,000

Galina-37 [17]

The correct answers are:

- Wage/salary;

- Active job seekers;

The amount of money you earn by working is your wage or salary. The difference being that the wage represents the money you get paid on hourly, weekly, or monthly basis, while the salary is what you earn in year. The wages/salaries vary a lot, some being very high, some being modest, some very high, depending on the type of job, type of economy, as well as the qualifications of the worker.

The percentage of people that are actively looking for job is called active job seekers. The active job seekers can be people that are unemployed, but also people that re employed but want to work something or somewhere else. While some people struggle to find jobs and would accept almost anything, other people want to constantly progress, thus they are not satisfying with a job where they do not progress, so they seek for new challenges and opportunities.
