Question

Answer 1

The commission rate is 15%

Explanation:

commission = commission rate x sales

where the commission rate is expressed as a decimal.

In this case, the salesperson earned a commission of $345 for selling $2,300 in merchandise. Therefore, we have:

345 = commission rate x 2300

To solve for the commission rate, we can divide both sides by 2300:

commission rate = 345/2300

Simplifying this expression, we get:

commission rate = 0.15

So, the commission rate is 15%
