    B. Sales for $3,456

    Explanation:

    Sales can simply be defined as the activity of selling the merchandise inventory of a business at any given time.

    Journal entry

    Dr Account receivable $3,456

    Cr Sales Revenue $3,200

    Cr Sales tax payable $256

    Sales revenue $3,200

    Sales percentage 8%

    Therefore sales tax payable = sales revenue * sales percentage

    $3,200*8% = 256

    $3200 + $256 = $3,456
