Answer 1

B. 7 percent

I kind of did it backwards. I took the amount $38642. and multiplied it by each of the answers. The 7 percent is what gave me the $2704.94 amount.

Answer 2

Option B. will be the answer.

Explanation:

Last week total sales done by Rob Polanski as a tractor salesman was = $38642

He received amount as a commission = $2704.94

So the percentage of commission he received will be

=
`\frac{\text{Commission received}}{\text{Total sales}}* 100`

=
`(2704.94)/(38642)* 100`

= 0.07×100

= 7%

Therefore, Option B. will be the answer.
