Question

Jake used an employment agency to find him a new job. Jake has agreed to pay the agency a commission equal to 4% of his first year's salary. If the agency finds Jake a job that pays $7,500 a month, what amount of commission will Jake pay?

A. 300
B. 3,000
C. 3,600
D. 4,800

Answer 1

The answer would be A, $300. To figure this out, you would take his annual salary, $7,500, and multiply it by .04. You get .04 from 4% by moving the decimal 2 places to the left.
Hope this helped!
