Take $293 and multiply that by his percentage .15. 293 x .15 = $43.95. So he earned $43.95 in commission for that laptop.

Answer:

$43.95

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Daniel makes commission on everything he sells=15%

Daniel sell laptop=S.P=$293.00

We have to find the money made by Daniel in commission.

15 % convert into fraction

When we convert percentage into fraction then we write 100 in denominator.

15%=
(15)/(100)

Now, multiply
(15)/(100) with 293


(15)/(100)* 293=43.95

15% of $ 293=$43.95

The money made by Daniel in commission=$43.95

Hence, Daniel makes money in commission=$43.95
