$2525 total minus the base of $2200 would be $325 extra.

If this is only 5% of the total sales, then multiplying it by (1/.05) would give us $6500 in total sales.

A Because if you subtract his monthly salary and his amount paid then multiply the amount of 5% by the extra not excluding his monthly salary you get 6500$
