Question

A sale agent receives R675 per week salary in addition, she receives 15% commission on all sales,if she sells R1500 worth of goods in all week, what percentage of her total earnings will be commission?​

Answer 1

Answer: 33.33%

Explanation:

Salary = R675
Commission on sales = 15%
Weekly sales = R1500
Commission = 1500 x 15%
= 1500 x 15 / 100
= 22500/100
=R225

Now, to find what percentage of her total earnings is 225, we'll divide 225 by 675 and will multiply by 100.

(225 / 675) x 100
= 22500 / 675
= 33.33%
