If a salesman earned 6% commissions on sales, and in one week he earned $300 in commissions, how much merchandise did he sell that week?

Answer 1

0.06x = 300

x = 5,000

Answer 2

This is a ratio question where we did not have listed the amount of merchandise that was sold for that week. We divided to get x by it self and then divided 0.06 into 300 and got x = 5,000
