Question

Dimitri is paid 8 percent commission on his total sales every pay period. Last pay period, he sold $6,300 worth of items. After a state tax of 6 percent is deducted from his commission, how much is left to the nearest dollar?

Answer 1

ok......... so ignore the pay part, that is not his pay but the 8% comission inclusive of the tax

Answer 2

$ 474 is left.

Explanation:

Given,

The amount at which the items are sold = $ 6,300,

Also, commission percentage = 8 %,

Thus, commission = 8% of 6300

`=(8* 6300)/(100)`

`=(50400)/(100)`

`=\$ 504`

Now, deducted tax percentage on commission = 6%,

Hence, the left amount of commission = commission - 6% of the commission

`=504-(6* 504)/(100)`

`=504-(3024)/(100)`

`=504-30.24`

`=\$ 473.76`

`\approx \$ 474`
