Question

You receive an 11 percent commission on all sales you make if your commission for the month is 512.50 dollars what was your total sales

Answer 1

Total sales were $4659.1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Commission = 11%

Amount of commission = $512.50

Let,

total sales = x

Therefore,

11% of x = 512.50

$\frac{11}{100}x=512.50\\0.11x=512.50$

Dividing both sides by 0.11

$\frac{0.11x}{0.11}=\frac{512.50}{0.11}\\x= 4659.1$

Total sales were $4659.1
