Let X equal the unknown amount of your sales.
then, (8%)(X) = $784
dividing both sides of the equation by 8% gives:
X = 784/8%
Since 8% equals 0.08, substitute this for 8% to get:
X = 784/0.08 = $9800
Best wishes

Let a represent the sales amount.
0.08a = 784
Therefore a = 784/0.08 = 9800

784/.08 = $9,800 i think...
double check...
9800 x .08 = 784
yup, I think that's right
