Question

Lin is shopping for a couch with her dad and hears him ask the salesperson, “How much is your commission?” The salesperson says that her commission is 5.5% of the selling price.

How much commission will the salesperson earn by selling a couch for $495?

Answer 1

The salesperson will get $27.23

Explanation:

Given that:

Commission of salesperson = 5.5% of selling price

Selling cost of couch = $495

Commission amount = 5.5% of 495

Commission amount =
`(5.5)/(100)*594`

Commission amount = 0.055 * 495

Commission Amount = $27.23

Hence,

The salesperson will get $27.23
