Question

Robert is a salesperson. He receives 7% commission on each piece of electronic equipment he sells. How much commission will he receive if he sells $6,800 worth of electronic equipment?

Answer 1

He receives $476 in comission.

Explanation:

This question can be solved using a rule of three.

$6,800 is 100% = 1. x, which is his commision, is 7% = 0.07. Then

6800 - 1

x - 0.07

x = 6800*0.07

x = 476

He receives $476 in comission.
