Answer:

Total sales to be made = $13108.57

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Monthly salary = $1959

Commission = 6.3%

Monthly pay to be earned = $2784.84

Commission amount = 2784.84 - 1959 = $825.84

Let,

x be the amount of sales

6.3% of x = 825.84

[tex]\frac{6.3}{100}x=825.84\\0.063x=825.84[/tex]

Dividing both sides by 0.063

[tex]\frac{0.063x}{0.063}=\frac{825.84}{0.063}\\x=13108.57[/tex]

Hence,

Total sales to be made = $13108.57
