DIGITTI

How much commission did the salesman earn if the car he sold cost $8,000 and he earns 20%?

Answer 1

The salesman earned $1,600 in commission.

Explanation:

$8,000 is 100% of the price, so

20% × 8000 = 1600 so

$1,600 is 20% of $8,000.

Answer 2

Multiply the amount of the sale by the commission rate:

8,000 x 0.20 = 1,600

He earned $1,600
