The sports booster club sold candles as a fundraiser to support the new team. The club earns a commission on it candle sales(which 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 clubs total sales have to be in order to make atleast $500
