    Base salary of Alex = $5000

    commission = 5.25% = 5.25/100 = 0.0525

    total money he make with sales = $8000

    let S is the total sales he make, then the equation becomes

    $5000 + 0.0525S = $8000

    0.0525S = 8000 - 5000

    0.0525S = 3000

    S = 3000 / 0.0525

    S = 57142.8571429

    if we want to confirm that our answer is right we can multiply the value of S with 0.0525 and we get $3000, and $5000 + $3000 = $8000
