Question

A salesperson earns a commission of $504 for selling 2,800 in merchandise. Find the commission rate. Write your answer as a percentage.

Answer 1

18%

Explanation:

`(504)/(2800)` =
`(x)/(100)` ----> cross multiply

504(100) = 2800x

50400 = 2800x

`(50400)/(2800)` =
`(2800x)/(2800)`

18 = x

Commission Rate: 18%
