A salesperson had $240, 000 in sales last year, which is 60% of the sales she had this year. Which equation could be used to determine x, the salesperson's total amount of sales, in dollars, for this year?

Respuesta :

Answer: $400,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the salesperson's total amount of sales, in dollars, for this year be represented by x.

Therefore, 60% of x = $240,000

60/100 × x = $240,000.

0.6 × x = $240,000..

x = $240000 / 0.6

x = $400,000

Therefore, the salesperson's total amount of sales, for this year is $400,000.
