that is 12/100,X = 3000-3000*0.......
Phillipe works for a computer store that pays a 12% commission and no salary. What will Phillipe's weekly sales have to be for him to earn $360.
YES I KNOW THE HIS WEEKLY SALES WILL HAVE TO BE $3000 BUT HOW DO I SHOW THE WORK?

Let x = weekly sales

$360 = .12x

1) Because Phillipe is trying to make $360, we set the equation equal to this.
2) 12% as a decimal is .12; thus, we use .12, instead of 12.
3) Because we need to know 12% of some number (for which we are solving), and we let "x" equal the weekly sales, we know that 12% of this number must equal $360.
4) Now, we solve for "x".
5) Divide 360 by .12, and one gets $3000.
6) :)

since 12%, that is 12/100, equals 360
12/100 * X = 360
X = 360 * 100/12
X = 3000

3000*0.12
