Question

Duncan shares 20 percent of all of his sales commissions with his personal assistant. If Duncan earns x dollars in commissions and gives his assistant y dollars, which equation correctly models this situation? mc011-1.jpg

Answer 1

X * (0.2)y

Explanation:

Answer 2

x*0.2=y
if x = the total commissions, and 20% goes to his assistant, you would need to multiply your total sales commissions by 0.2 to find 20%, and that would be the total given to the assistant.
Hope this helps
