Question

11. Alanna is a

stockbroker. She receives a commission based on the value of the
trades she makes.
a. If Alanna earns $10 for sales of $1,000, what is her percent of commission?
b. If she earns x dollars for sales of y dollars, express her percent of
commission
algebraically.

Answer 1

a) 1% commission

b) 0.01 * y = x another way to express that is x/y = 0.01

Explanation:

Alanna earns $10 for sales of $1,000.

1000/10 = 0.01

0.01 is equalent to 1%

0.01 * 1000 = 10

Alanna has a 1% commission rate, multiply that by the sales of y dollars, and that will equal the x dollars that she earns.

0.01 * y = x or it can be expressed as x/y = 0.01
