Answer 4

I she makes $100 plus 5% commission and she made $160 then you take the $60 times the 5% and the answer would be 3

Answer 5

I don't think that's quite correct thank thank you though. :)

Answer 6

168

Answer 7

what is 60 x 5...

Answer 8

its definetly not 168.

Answer 9

it wouldn't be 5 it would be .05

Answer 10

your talking % not a whole 5

Answer 11

But we are trying to find out how much she sold..not the percentage of how much. we already know the percentage.

Answer 12

but you have to take the total multiply but 5% or .05 then add it to your whole number

Answer 13

that she got herself.

Answer 14

100+0.05x = 160

0.05x = 160-100

0.05x = 60

x = 60/0.05

x = 1200

So she made $1200 in sales
