Question

Employees at Company A earn 4% commission on sales. Employees at Company B earl 2/3 of what Company A employees earn. How much would a Company B employee earn on $13,595?

Answer 1

First let's see how much commission an employee would get by earning 13595 at Company A:

`(13595)\cdot(0.04)=543.80`

Since employees at Company B earn 2/3 of what Company A employees earn, we would have:

`(543.80)\cdot(2)/(3)=(543.80\cdot2)/(3)=362.53`

Therefore, a Company B employee would earn $362.53 on $13595
