Question

A saleswoman earns 30% commission on all the merchandise that she sells. Last month she sold $600 worth of merchandise. How much commission (in dollars) did she earn last month?

Answer 1

$180

Explanation:

To do this, you need to turn your percent into a decimal by dividing by 100:

30% / 100 = .3

Then, you multiply how much she sold by the decimal:

.3 * $600 = $180
