A salesperson receives a 3% commission on sales. The salesperson receives $180 in commission. What is the amount of sales?
The percent equation is:
a/w = p/100
3% substitutes for p, but I'm not sure what 180 would substitute for, a or w?
Why are you switching names ?
let sales be x
.03x = 180
divide both sides by .03
x = 180/.03 = 6000
the correct answer is $6,000
The correct answer is 6,000 because:
She earns a 3% commission on sales and she receives $180 as her commission, this is basically saying: x*3100 = $180.
The answer is $6,000

Just to clarify with all of you, I checked myself cause I like to waste time. 😀
