Question

shane works at an electronics store. He earns 13% commission on his sales. Shane's commission this month is $780. What are his total sales for the month

Answer 1

anytime you need to find the percentage of something, you multiply the total by the percentage. In this case, the total is 780, and the percentage is 13. You would then multiply 780 by .13 (dont forget the decimal) which should give you 101.4. Hope this helps! Have a good day!

Answer 2

Shane's total sales is $6000.

Explanation:

It is given that the Shane earns 13% commission on his sales and the Shane's commission this month is $780.

Let the Shane's total sales be x. So, 13% of x is $780.

`x* (13)/(100)=780`

Solve the above equation to find the value of x.

`x=780* (100)/(13)`

`x=6000`

The value of x is 6000, therefore Shane's total sales is $6000.
