The difference in sales is that Hillary sold $2,400 more than Jon

Step-by-step explanation:

To find each of their sales, start by dividing the amount they made by the percentage of commission that they earn.

Hillary

3498/.22 = 15,900

Jon

3780/.28 = 13,500

So now to find the difference, we subtract Jon's total from Hillary's.

15,900 - 13,500 = 2,400
