Arlene sells computers and tablets. she earns 8% commission on every dollar of sales that she makes. in one month she earned a total of $2,560 in commissions. write an equation for arlene's sales, s , in dollars that month. then find her sales.

$32,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = amount of sales

8% of sales is 8% of x, or 8% * x = 0.08x.

We are told that 0.08x is $2560.

We write that as an equation and solve it for x.

The equation is:

0.08x = 2560

To solve, we see that x is being multiplied by 0.08, and we want x alone, so we divide both sides by 0.08.

0.08x/0.08 = 2560/0.08

x = 32,000

$32,000
