Question

daniel works at nearby elections store. He makes of 15% on everything he sells . if he sells a laptop for $293.00 , how much money does daniel make in commission

Answer 1

$43.95

Explanation:

A percent means ¹/₁₀₀ of something.

So, 15 % means ¹⁵/₁₀₀ of something.

15 % of $293.00 means ¹⁵/₁₀₀ × $293.00

Commission = ¹⁵/₁₀₀ × 293.00

Commission = 0.15 × 293.00

Commission = $43.95

Daniel makes $43.95 as commission.
