witch means it receives a certain percentage of the total dollar amount sold). if the club gets to keep 30% of the money from the candle sales, what would the club's total sales have to be in order to make at least $500?

The booster club would have to sell a total of $1,666.66 to reach $499.99 (basically 500 no one needs to be that nit picky). I solved this by dividing 500 by 0.3 (30%) instead of multiplying it.
