Answer:

90$

Explanation:

1. Find out what the question is asking

  • 18% commission on a 500$ couch means that someone gets 18% of the money when the couch is sold.

2. So now we have to find how much 18% of 500$ is

  • 18% can also be written as 0.18
  • (To find a percentage of any number, simply just multiply the converted percent, in this case, 0.18, and the number you want to find the percent of, in this case, 500.
  • So we do 0.18 x 500 and we get 90

3. In conclusion, 18% commission of 500$ is 90$
