Ruby receives 6.5% commission on all her sales. One month she sold$14,500 worth of goods. How much was her commission for the month?a. $94.25b. $1,740c. $942.50d. $2,230.77

Answer 1

Since she receives 6.5% commission on all her sales and sold $14,500 worth of goods in a month, her commission for the month will be calculated as

`(6.5)/(100)*14,500`

Because percentage represents over 100.

So, this becomes

`\begin{gathered} (6.5)/(100)*14,500 \\ \\ =942.50 \end{gathered}`

So the correct answer is option C
