Answer 1

To find the 8% commission on $135,000 worth of product sales, convert 8% to a decimal (0.08) and multiply it by $135,000. The commission is $10,800.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the commission you would earn from selling $135,000 worth of product at an 8% commission rate, you follow these steps:

• First, convert the commission rate from a percentage to a decimal by dividing by 100. So, 8% becomes 0.08.
• Next, multiply the total amount of sales by the decimal commission rate: $135,000 x 0.08.
• This calculation gives you your commission: $135,000 x 0.08 = $10,800.

Therefore, the correct answer is A) $10,800.
