Question

You work in a furniture store. You receive a

commission of $120.93 every time you sell a
piece of furniture above a certain value. You
receive $2,176.74 in commission this month.
How many pieces of furniture did you sell in
order to receive this commission?

Answer 1

18.

Since you receive $120.93 everytime you sell a piece of furniture, and you receive a total of $2,176.74, you just have to divide how much in total you received in commission this month ($2,176.74) and divide it by how much you receive everytime you sell a piece of furniture ($120.93)

2,176.74 divided by 120.93 = 18

Answer = 18
