Answer is B indeed!!!

Answer 2

Answer:

Option (A) is correct i.e

$\frac{60}{100} = \frac{240000}{x}$

The sale this year be $400000 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula

$Percentage = \frac{Part\ value\times 100}{Total\ value}$

As given

A salesperson had 240,000 dollars in sales last year, which is 60% of the sales she had this year.

x = The salesperson’s total amount of sales, in dollars, for this year .

Here

Percentage = 60%

Part value = $ 240000

Total value = x

Put these value in the above

$60 = \frac{240000\times 100}{x}$

$\frac{60}{100} = \frac{240000}{x}$

Solving the above

$\frac{6}{10} = \frac{240000}{x}$

$x= \frac{240000\times 10}{6}$

$x= 40000\times 10$

x = $400000

Therefore the sales this years be $400000.

Option (A) is correct .
