You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let gross sales = +x+ millions
Returns = +%281%2F30%29%2Ax+ millions
-----------------------------
+x+-+%281%2F30%29%2Ax+=+240+ ( in millions )
+%28+29%2F30+%29%2Ax+=+240+
+x+=+%28+30%2F29+%29%2A240+
+x+=+248.28+
Gross sales were 248 million ( rounded to nearest million )
