Question

A sales person had $240,00 in sales last year, which is 60% of the sales she has this year. Which equation could be used to determine X, the salespersons total amount of sales in dollars for this year

Answer 1

Answer: 240,000= .6x and/or 400,000

Step-by-step explanation:

If 240,000 is 60% of our answer, we can write the equation as...

240,000= .6x

In order to find the answer, (I am unsure if you need it) we would divide both sides by .6.

This would leave us with 400,000.
