Answer: $3,800

Explanation:

When calculating a percentage, you first divide by 100 to determine the decimal form of said percentage, in this case being 12%/100=0.12. Multiply the total cost of the car, $28,000 by 0.12 to find the amount of commission Omar received to be left with $3,360.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

He earned 3,360

Explanation:

you would just multiply 28000 by 0.12

Because in order to multiply to find the sum you have to change the percentage into a fraction so that would be 12% = 0.12
