Juliecommission=.03*sales

solve for sales.
I don't understannd what you just mentioned. How would you get the answer of the total sales?
82.74= .03 * x (sales)

divide each side by .03 to get your answer

to check it, take your answer and multiply it by .03 and you should come up with 82.74.
Does that mean that Julie has had 2758 sales?

so to double check the answer you would go... 2758*.03 and get the answer of $82.74
