Respuesta :

well you would first would take 100% and divide by 10% to get 10, so you would then multiply 10 by 2500 to get 25000 dollars.

Answer:

$25,000 were her sales in dollars that month.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the sales made by Cameron in a month be x.

Percentage of sales Cameron receives as a commission = 10%

Amount received as a commission = $2,500

Percentage of sales Cameron receives as a commission :

[tex]10\%=\frac{\$2,500}{x}\times 100[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{\$2,500}{10}\times 100=\$25,000[/tex]

$25,000 were her sales in dollars that month.
