S = Total Sales
1/7s = $28,000
7 x 1/7s = $28,000 x 7
s = $196,000

Check yourself. Replace the s with $196,000 and you will get $28,000

1/7 x $196,000 = $196,000/7 = $28,000

X / 7 = $28,000
X = $28,000 x 7 = $196,000.

Buy a calculator. Actually, you shouldn't need one, but math in apparently NOT you strong suit.
