Answer:
Option (A) is correct i.e
[tex]\frac{60}{100} = \frac{240000}{x}[/tex]
The sale this year be $400000 .
Step-by-step explanation:
Formula
[tex]Percentage = \frac{Part\ value\times 100}{Total\ value}[/tex]
As given
A salesperson had 240,000 dollars in sales last year, which is 60% of the sales she had this year.
x = The salesperson’s total amount of sales, in dollars, for this year .
Here
Percentage = 60%
Part value = $ 240000
Total value = x
Put these value in the above
[tex]60 = \frac{240000\times 100}{x}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{60}{100} = \frac{240000}{x}[/tex]
Solving the above
[tex]\frac{6}{10} = \frac{240000}{x}[/tex]
[tex]x= \frac{240000\times 10}{6}[/tex]
[tex]x= 40000\times 10[/tex]
x = $400000
Therefore the sales this years be $400000.
Option (A) is correct .
