Question

A salesperson receives a 2.5% commission on sales. What commission does the salesperson receive for $8000 in sales?

Answer 1

what we have to calculate is how much is 2.5% of 8000?

this means multiplying 8 000 by 2.5%!

2.5% is
`(25)/(1000)`

so
`(25)/(1000)*8000`=
`(25)/(1)*8`=200

so the person would receive 200 dollars in commission.
