Question

Amber, a sales person at Arya Sunshine Tours, sold a vacation package to Tiffany and her partner for $13,000 to travel to the Bahamas for 10 days. If the commission on this sale is 10%, calculate the amount of commission received.

Answer 1

To calculate the amount of commission received by Amber, the salesperson, we need to multiply the total sale amount by the commission rate.

Commission = Total sale amount × Commission rate

The total sale amount is $13,000, and the commission rate is 10% (or 0.10).

Commission = $13,000 × 0.10

Commission = $1,300

Therefore, Amber received a commission of $1,300 on the sale of the vacation package to Tiffany and her partner.
