Question

An agent receives rs 800 as a commission on the sales worth rs 10000 find the rate of commission

Answer 1

8%

Explanation:

we are given a sales commission of 800 from a total of 10000. the rate of commission is the percentage of commission as total sales worth.

so, we need to divide the commission by the total.

`(800)/(10000)`

divide both numerator and denominator by 100

`\to(8)/(100)`

this is equivalent to 8%.

so, our commission rate is 8%
