Question

Robert Russell earns 3% commission on the sale of a $512,800 home. What is his
commission?

Answer 1

The commission is
`\$15,384`

Explanation:

we know that

`3\%=3/100=0.03` ----> percentage of the commission in decimal form

To find out how much is the commission, multiply the amount of the sale of the home by the percentage of the commission in decimal form

so

`512,800(0.03)=\$15,384`
