Answer: The salesperson sold $1240 worth of dishwashers.

Step by step solution:

From the information given, we know that the salesperson's commission is

30% = 30/100 = 0.3

Total Commissions = $372

The equation that fits the situation is:


x\cdot0.3=372

Let x = total dollars of dishwashers sold

Solve for x,


\begin{gathered} x\cdot0.3=372 \\ x=(372)/(0.3)=1240 \end{gathered}

The salesperson sold $1240 worth of dishwashers.
