A salesperson receives a 3% commission on sales. The salesperson receives $180 in commission. What is the amount of sales?

The percent equation is:
a/w = p/100
3% substitutes for p, but I'm not sure what 180 would substitute for, a or w?

Why are you switching names ?

let sales be x
.03x = 180
divide both sides by .03
x = 180/.03 = 6000
I'm uncomfortable using my real my name, to answer your question.
You don't have to use your real name, but stick to whatever name you pick

The correct answer is 6,000 because:
