Question from tom: here is my question: trying to determine what gross sales were. I have.....Gross sales - (gross X .0675) = 2,245,009 |
Tom,
If you subtract 0.0675 times your gross sales you are left with 0.9335 times your gross sales since 1 - 0.0675 = 0.9375. Thus 0.999335 × gross sales = 2,245,009 and thus
gross sales = 2,245,009/0.9375 = 2,407,516
