subtract base pay ( $80) from total pay
132-80 = 52
divide 52 by 10% for total sales = 52/0.1 = 520
his sales were $520
Answer:
Sales amount is $520 .
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us assume that the sales amount be x .
As given
Thomas earned $80 plus 10% of his sales for a net of $132.
10% is written in the decimal form
[tex]= \frac{10}{100}[/tex]
= 0.10
Thus
Total Earned amount = Earned amount + 0.10 × Sales amount
Put all the values in the above
132 = 80 + 0.10 × x
132 - 80 = 0.10x
52 = 0.10x
[tex]x = \frac{52}{0.10}[/tex]
x = $520
Therefore the sales amount is $520 .
