$1,500 worth of merchandise and made $120 in commission. On

Sunday you sold $1,300 worth of merchandise. If you made the same percent commission,how much did you earn on Sunday?


A. $8

B. $86. 66

C. $104

D. $1,039. 99

Answer 1

C. $104

Explanation:

First, we need to figure out what percent $120 is of $1500.

120 ÷ 1500 = 0.08 = 8%. So, $120 is 8% of $1500, and this is the percentage that'll be used to calculate Sunday's commission.

0.08 (8%) × 1300 = 104

Thus, you earned $104 on Sunday.
