Answer:
$8,000
Explanation:
Given that
Profit = $1,200
Cost = 85% of sales
Profit = 15%
We know that
Sales = Cost + Profit
= 85% + 15%
= 100%
So sales percentage is 100%
Now we use the unitary method to find out the extra sales which would be
= Profit × sales percentage ÷ profit percentage
= $1,200 × 100% ÷ 15%
= $8,000
