Question

An insurance company pays Tommy a $400 commission for selling a $100,000 insurance policy. At this rate, what would be Tommy’s commission for selling a $25,000 insurance policy ?

Answer 1

$100

Explanation:

He gets paid a commission of $400 for a $100,000 insurance policy. We need to find out how much he's gonna get paid for a $25,000 insurance policy.

Break down the $100,000 into four equal amounts if possible, which it is:

$25,000

$25,000

$25,000

$25,000

Now break down his commission of $400 for the $100,000 insurance policy into four equal amounts if possible, which it is:

$100

$100

$100

$100

Now since we split them up into four equal parts you can tell how much he would get paid for a $25,000 insurance policy.

He would get paid $100 for the $25,000
