If a salesman received a commission of 3% of the sales that he has booked in a month, what was the sales booked by the salesman in the month of November 2003?

The sales booked by the salesman in the month of November 2003 minus salesman's commission was $245,000
The selling price of the sales booked by the salesman in the month of November 2003 were 125 percent of the original purchase price of $225,000.

Just because something is hard doesn't mean you shouldn't try,it means you should just try harder.
