Answer:
Total sales are $17,800
Step-by-step explanation:
Base salary = $400
Commission = 2%
Total = $756
Find the amount of money you get as commission:
[tex]\$756-\$400=\$356[/tex]
This amount is 2% of total sales, thus
$356 - 2%
$x - 100%
Write a proportion:
[tex]\dfrac{356}{x}=\dfrac{2}{100}\\ \\2x=356\cdot 100\\ \\2x=35,600\\ \\x=17,800[/tex]
So, total sales are $17,800
