Let's represent her total sales for the day as x.
From the given information, we know that the commission represents 3.5 (or 3 and a half) of the sales made. This means that 3.5 is equal to 56 (the commission) divided by x (the sales).
So, we can set up the equation:
3.5 = 56 / x
To solve for x, we can cross multiply:
3.5x = 56
Now, we divide both sides of the equation by 3.5 to isolate x:
x = 56 / 3.5
Evaluating the expression on the right side:
x = 16
Therefore, her total sales for the day is Ghana cedis 16.
