Answer:

$6,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Form an equation

let s be the amount of sales

You know that the salesperson gets 3%, or 0.03 of the sales, so:

0.03x = 180

Then, solve

[tex]0.03x=180[/tex]

multiply both sides by 100 to get rid of the decimal

[tex]3x=18000[/tex]

divide both sides by 3

[tex]x=6000[/tex]

So the amount of sales is $6,000
