Question

“Find the requested information based on the given facts.

Total sales is $55,000

The commission is 3.5%

Determine the commission.”

Can someone please help?

Answer 1

$1925

Explanation:

So your problem is $55,000 x 3.5%

You can rewrite this as:

55,000 x 3.5/100 or 55,000 x 35/1000

Now multiply. I will remove the /1000 for now.

55,000x35=1925000

Now, divide 1925000 by 1000.

1925/1000=$1,925
