Question

Tamika makes a 5.5% commission selling electronics. How much commission does she make if she sells a flat-screen TV for $10,000?

Answer 1

Answer: She makes $550

Explanation:

This is because to find the answer you do 10000t imes 5.5%

And 5.5% is 0.055

So you do 10000 times 0.055

Which is 550

Answer 2

For this case, we should look for the 5.5% of 10,000 that the Tamika commission represents for the sale made.

For this, we make a rule of three:

10,000 ------------> 100%

x ---------------------> 5.5%

Where "x" represents the Tamika commission.

`x = \frac {5.5 * 10,000} {100}\\x = 550\`

So, Tamika wins a $ 550 commission

Answer:

$ 550
