Concept:Commission is a percentage of the total sales: commission = rate × sales.Given:Commission rate = $15\%$, commission earned = GHC 60.00.Solution:Let total sales be $S$.$15\%$ of $S = 60$$\dfrac{15}{100} \times S = 60$$S = \dfrac{60 \times 100}{15} = \dfrac{6000}{15} = 400$Check: $15\%$ of $400 = 0.15 \times 400 = 60$ ✓.So she made sales of GHC 400.00.Answer:Option C (GHC 400.00)
