Question

A sales representative is paid a commission rate of 5.1%. Find hercommission if she sold $66,770 worth of goods last month.

Answer 1

To answer this question, we have to compute the 5.1% of $66,770.

Recall that to compute the x% of y, we can use the following expression:

`y*(x)/(100)\text{.}`

Substituting x=5.1, and y=66,770 in the above expression, we get:

`66770*(5.1)/(100)=3405.27.`

Therefore, the commission will be $3405.27.

Answer: $3405.27.
