Question

Answer 1

Given:

Jamie receives 15% commission on magazine subscriptions.

One week her sales totaled $860.

To find:

Her commission.

Solution:

We have,

Total sales of one week = $860

Rate of commission = 15%

Now,

`Commission=(15)/(100)* 860`

`Commission=(15)/(10)* 86`

`Commission=(1290)/(10)`

`Commission=129`

Therefore, the amount of commission is $129.
