one forklift sells every 4 hours on ebay. if a forklift sells for $2,999 and the seller receives a 12% commission, how much does the seller receive for the sale?

You would cross multiply: 12%/100 = x/2,999

2,999*12 =35,988
35,988/100=$359.88

The seller get 12% of the total price which is $359.88. I hope this helps!
