Answer 1

well, we know the commission is 6.5% from all sales, and when the sales are $3790, well, what's 6.5% of that?

`\begin{array} \cline{1-1} \textit{a\% of b}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ \left( \cfrac{a}{100} \right)\cdot b \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}~\hspace{5em}\stackrel{\textit{6.5\% of 3790}}{\left( \cfrac{6.5}{100} \right)3790}\implies 246.35`
