hell

the sales was $700 and the commission was 8%

8% of $700 is


\begin{gathered} 8\text{ \% of \$700} \\ (8)/(100)=(x)/(700) \\ \end{gathered}

cross multiply both sides


\begin{gathered} (8)/(100)=(x)/(700) \\ 100* x=8*700 \\ 100x=5600 \\ \end{gathered}

divide both sides by the coefficient of x


\begin{gathered} (100x)/(100)=(5600)/(100) \\ x=56 \end{gathered}

the commission on the $700 is $56
