Question

Donna earns a commission. She makes 3.5% of the amount she sells. Yesterday she sold a $800 recliner. How much was her commission.

Answer 1

Amount sold = $800

Commission = 3.5%

To calculate the commission amount, multiply $800 by the commission percentage in decimal form (divided by 100)

800 x (3.5/100)= 800 x 0.035 = $28
