I have seen Your question many times before:

Jorge earns a 9% commission on all of his sales. He had sales of $89,400 for the month. Harris works for a different company, and also sold $89,400 for the month but made $447 more than Jorge. What is Harris’ commission rate? please show your work.



Your work to the answer:
Given that, Jorge's commission rate is 9% and his sales for the month was $89,400, his commission was 9/100*$89,400=$8046.
Harris's sales for the month was also $89400 but he earned $477 more than Jorge, so his commission was $8046+$477=$8523
So his commission rate can be found by dividing his earnings by his sales and multiplying the quotient by 100.

Your final answer:
His commission rate was 8543/89400*100=9.53%(rounded to the nearest hundredth)


Hope this helped!!!
