Answer 2

Commission is money paid to a person or a company for making a sale. It is usually a percent of the sale amount.

As per the given information,

Total monthly sales last month a salesman had $15,200.

Commission he made from those sales is $912.

To find the percent of salesman's commission:

Percentage of salesman commission =
`(Commission made from those sale)/(Total monthly sales) * 100`

=
`(\$912)/(\$15200) * 100`
`=(912)/(152)`

On Simplify we get,

Percentage of salesman's commission of his total monthly sales is, 6%
