Answer 1

Option d. 12.40963855% is the answer.

Explanation:

Monthly salary of a sales representative = $1,100

He was paid for the month = $2,300

His total sales were = $8,300

His commission for the month of sales = Total payment - monthly salary

= 2,300 - 1,100

= $1,030

He got $1,030 as commission on the sales of $8,300.

The percentage of the commission =
`(1030)/(8300)* 100`

= 12.40963855421687%

Option d. 12.40963855% is the answer.
