Answer 2

Answer : The amount receive by artist will be, $25.5

Step-by-step explanation :

As we are given that:

The cost of a piece of art sells = $30

The shop receives a 15 percent commission and this amount is subtracted from the price of the artwork, and the remaining amount is given to the artist. That means,

The cost of commission =
`\$ 30* 15\%=\$ 30* (15)/(100)=\$ 4.5`

Now we have to determine the amount receive by artist.

Amount receive by artist = Cost of a piece of art sells - Cost of commission

Amount receive by artist = $30 - $4.5

Amount receive by artist = $25.5

Thus, the amount receive by artist will be, $25.5
