Asalesperson 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 in sales, in dollars, for this year?

$400,000

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write a proportion to find the total amount using the information given. A proportion is two equivalent ratios set equal to each other.

We will cross multiply the numerator of one ratio with denominator of the other. And then solve for y.

60x=100(240,000)

60x=24,000,000

y=400,000
