Jack sells furniture for homes. Jacks is paid an 8.3% commission on all sales. Last month, Jack sold $42,513 worth of furniture. What was his commission?​

we know that

8.3%=8.3/100=0.083

so

Multiply $42,513 by 0.083 to obtain his commission

$42,513*(0.083)=$3,528,58

therefore

the answer is

$3,528,58
