Question

angel butler made 2960 commision on 46250 worth of merchandise that was sold. whats the rate of commission​

Answer 1

if we take 46250 to be the 100%, what is 2960 off of it in percentage?

`\bf \begin{array}{ccll} amount&\%\\ \cline{1-2} 46250&100\\ 2960&x \end{array}\implies \cfrac{46250}{2960}=\cfrac{100}{x}\implies \cfrac{125}{8}=\cfrac{100}{x}\implies 125x=800 \\\\\\ x=\cfrac{800}{125}\implies x=\cfrac{32}{5}\implies x = 6.4`
