Destiny works on commission as an office supply saleswoman. She sold a computer that cost $700 and received a $126 commission.

What percent of her sale is Destiny's commission?

Hello,

If you want to find the percentage of anything, simply divide how much of the total number by the total number. 126 ÷ 700, which is 0.18.

To turn the decimal into a percentage, simply move the decimal place two places to the right, and it is now 18%.

In conclusion, she earned 18% of her sale.
Hope this helps! =)
