Question

Lena sells cosmetics and receives commission of 45%. She sold $200 worth of cosmetics to one customer. How much commission did she earn?

Answer 1

Lena earns 45% of commission on the amount of sale she does.

She sold $200.00 worth cosmetics to a customer.

So we need to find 45% of $200.00.

a% of b is given by:

`(a)/(100) * b`

Using the formula above we can find the amount of commission earned by Lena:

`(45)/(100) * 200=45* 2=90`

So Lena earned $90.00 in commission over the sale worth $200.00 that she made.
