Answer :

Xaioo

Answer:

[tex][/tex] Let the dollar amount of shoes she sold be x.

Lane receives 16.5% commission for each pair of shoes sold, so the commission earned for selling x dollars worth of shoes is 0.165x.

Given that Lane earned $320 in commission last week, we can write the equation:

0.165x = 320

Solving for x:

x = [tex] \frac{320}{0.165}[/tex]

x = 1939.39 (approximately)

Therefore, the dollar amount of shoes Lane sold was approximately $1939.39.
