To find Alixe's total sales, you can set up an equation based on the percentage given. Let \( x \) represent her total sales.
According to the information provided, 20% of her total sales is equal to the commission she earned, which is $100:
\[
0.20x = 100
\]
To solve for \( x \), divide both sides of the equation by 0.20:
\[
x = \frac{100}{0.20}
\]
Calculating the right side:
\[
x = 500
\]
Thus, Alixe's total sales were **$500**.
