Question

The owner of the Carousel Art Gallery receives a commission of 20% on paintings that are sold on consignment. Find the commission on a painting that sold for $22,500.​

Answer 1

So, $4,500 is the commission on the painting.

Explanation:

Selling Price of the painting = $22,500.​

Commission Percentage = 20%

Now, we know that commission is always applied on the selling price of the object.

So, 20% of $22, 500 =
`(20)/(100)  * 22,500  = 4,500`

So, 20% of $22,500 = $4,500

So, $4,500 is the commission on the painting sold at the gallery.
