Question

A salesperson earns 17% commission on her total sales. If she sold $1530 last week, how much did she earn in commission ?

Answer 1

So, we know the numbers:

1530 is the total sales

17% or .17, (they're the same thing) is the amount of commission she earns off of total sales (1530).

So, to find out what she earns, we multiply the two numbers together.

1530 * .17 = $260.10

If you want me to clarify or explain more, please leave a comment. Good luck!
