A salesperson will earn a commission equal to 1/32 of the total sales. What is the commission warned on sales totaling $24,000?

Salesperson will earn 1/32nd of the total sales as his commission

From the sales amount, the commission he receives is a fraction of it

total sales is $24 000

therefore commission earned is


(1)/(32) of 24000

when the 'of' function is used its used for multiplication


(1)/(32) * 24000

since 32 is the denominator we divide 24 000 by 32

24 000/32 = 750

therefore commission earned is $ 750
