Answer 1

Answer: total sales $1260

Explanation:

GIVEN

Base salary: $360

Additional salary: 1/6 of total sale

Total salary: $570

-------------------------------------------------------

Let x= the total sales

360+(1/6)x=570

Subtract 360 on both sides

(1/6)x=210

Divide 1/6 on both sides

x=210 ÷ (1/6)

Turn division of fraction into multiplying its reciprocal

x=210 × 6

Simplify

x=1260
