Question

Christopher sold his dinette set for $245 through an online site, which charged him 9% of the selling price as commission. what is the commission?

Answer 1

$22.05

Explanation:

If a product has a sales commission, then one must divide the commission percent by (100) to convert the percent to a decimal. Then multiply the result by the price of the product to find the amount of money that will be given as a commission.

Applying this knowledge to the given problem, one must divide (9%) by (100) to convert to decimal form,

9% / 100 = 0.09

Now multiply the result by the price of the product (245) to find the amount given away in commission,

0.09 * 245 = 22.05
