Need help with a basic math problem?

Question

If my department did $5000 in sales, and that was 18% of the total store sales, how do I figure out the dollar amount of the total store sales?

Not just the number, but what formula do I use for this?

Thanks.

Answer 1

Let T be the total sales, then 0.18T = 5000
=> T=5000/0.18 =27777.77778

Answer 2

This is a simple question. If the total sales is $100 then the sales of your department is $18. Hence if your depatment sales is $18, then the toal store sales will be (5000 x 100)/18 = $27,777.78.

Answer 3

Total store sales= 100% of $5000(18%)
= 100/18 times $5000



Hope you'll get the answer!(=

Answer 4

18% = .18
divide $5000 by .18

Answer 5

18/100 times 5000/1 equals 9000/100 equals 90/1 equals $90,
$5000 minus $90 equals $4910.

Ans: The sales price is $4910.

Answer 6

You take 5000 multipy it by 18%- u gat 900. Add 900 to 5000. and the answer is 5900. I think.

Answer 7

First decide what number cabinets they are able to each and each complete in quarter-hour (a million/3shelf in keeping with quarter-hour for Sarah, a million/2 shelf in keeping with quarter-hour for Mary). Their blended cost is then 5/6 shelf in keeping with quarter-hour(a million/3 = 2/6, a million/2 = 3/6, 2/6+3/6 = 5/6). Divide the six cabinets with the help of the cabinets they are able to end in quarter-hour and multiply it with the help of the quarter-hour to get your answer(6 divided with the help of 5/6 and circumstances 15 = 108 minutes). it rather is checked with the help of (108/40 5 * a million) + (108/seventy 5 * 2.5), and the effect might desire to be 6 cabinets. I ask for forgiveness if I even have erred.

Answer 8

Ask yourself 18% of what = $5,000

Set it up as an equation .18x = 5,000

Divide both sides by .18, x = 27, 777

Answer 9

easy divide 50000 by .18
