Question

A salesperson at a jewelry store earns 4% commission each week. Last week, Heidi sold $680 worth of jewerly. Heidi earned 27.20 from her commission. How much did the jewelry store make from her sales?

Answer 1

4% is given to Heidi as commission.

96% is kept by the store.

Heidi sold $680 worth of jewellery.

We need to find 96% of 680 to know how much jewelry store made.

96% = 96/100 = 0.96

Now,

0.96 * 680 = $652.80
