Question

A salesperson’s commission rate is 4%. What is the commission from the sale of $39,000 worth of furnaces? Suppose sales would double. What would be true about the commission?

Answer 1

The earnings will double

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given data

we are told that the sales person's earnings is 4% of the sales made.

given that the sales made is $37,000 worth of furnaces.

Step two:

we want to find 4% of $37,000

=4/100*37000

=0.04*37000

=1480

hence for $37,000 the earning will be $1480.

Now suppose sales is doubled that is 37000*2= 74000

we want to find 4% of $74,000

=4/100*74000

=0.04*74000

=2960.

the earnings is $2960.

So if sales doubles the earnings will double
