Answer 1

Lindsey earned a commission of $6.23

Explanation:

Given that:

Commission rate = 5%

Amount of merchandise bought by customer = $124.50

Commission amount = 5% of 124.50

Commission amount =
`(5)/(100)*124.50`

Commission amount = 0.05 * 124.50

Commission amount = $6.225

Rounding off to nearest cent

Commission amount = $6.23

Hence,

Lindsey earned a commission of $6.23
