Answer:

The sale clerk make commission of $5.39.

Explanation:

We are given that a printer cost $49. And the commission rate is 11%.

We have to find how much commission does the sale clerk make at this commission rate.

Firstly, as we know that ;

Commission earned = Rate of commission
* Cost of printer

= 11% of Cost of printer

=
(11)/(100) * 49

=
(539)/(100) = $5.39

Therefore, if the commission rate is 11%, the sale clerk would make commission of $5.39.
