Asalesperson has 240000 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?

$400000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x equals her sales this year. Let y equal her sales last year. 60% of x is y. Lets write this into an equation.

x*.6=y

Input out known for y

x*.6=240000

To get x alone to find the sales this year, divide both sides by .6

(x*.6)/.6=240000/.6

Do the division

x=400000

She has $400000 in sales this year
