Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

goal is 2,000 and she already makes 1,500

2,000-1,500 gives you the amount she needs to earn from shoe sales

she needs to earn 500 dollars with a 25% commision

25% can also be written as 25/100

for every $100 she makes, she gets $25 but she needs $500

100:25

we need the second number in the ratio to equal $500

500 divided by 25 is 20

20 x 100 : 25 x 20

2000: 500

ANOTHER WAY: 500 is 1/4 of 2000 and 1/4 is 25% so you could multiply the amount she needed by 4 to get your answer
