Question

Raisa receives a 7% commission on all items that she sells. Her commission for her sales on Monday was $47.25. What was the dollar value of her sales on Monday?

Answer 1

Answer:

$675

Step-by-step explanation:

Let s represent her Monday sales.

Raisa receives a 7% commission on her sales.  In this case the commission was $47.25, representing 0.07s.

Solve for s:  Divide both sides of 0.07s = $47.25 by 0.07:

s = $47.25/0.07 =  $675.

The dollar value of her sales was $675.
