Answer:

B) 37%

Explanation:

Given,

The total base pay and commission = $ 52561,

While, base pay = $ 23690,

So, the amount of commision = Total base pay and commission - base pay = $ 52561- $ 23690 = $ 28871,

Also, total sale = $77,300,

Hence, the rate of the commission( in percentage )


=(Commission)/(Sale)* 100


=(28871)/(77300)* 100


=(2887100)/(77300)


=37.3492884864\%


\approx 37\%

Option 'B' is correct.
