Answer: Option (C) is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Correct option: 7%

Given that,

Total sales amounted = $38,642.00 ( last week total sales)

Commission Received = $2,704.94

Rate of commission =
(Commission\ Received)/(Total\ sales\ amount)

=
(2704.94)/(38642)*100

= 0.07 × 100

= 7%

Therefore, the rate of commission is 7%.
