Answer:

$7500

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say she sells x dollars in terms of goal sales

base salary + goal commission = goal total salary

1000 + goal commission = 2500

1000 + 20% commission of total goal sales = 2500

1000 + 20% of x = 2500

1000 + 0.2x = 2500

subtract 1000 from both sides to isolate x and its coefficient

0.2x = 1500

multiply both sides by 5 to find x

x = 7500
