Question

1) Jared, an art dealer, earns 15% commission on the art pieces that he sells at a Gallery. Jared sold $10,800 this month. How much does he earn in commission this month?

2) John is selling sets of knives and makes a 15%commission on all sales. What would his commission be on the sale of a $3250 set of knives?

Answer 1

Explanation:

1) Commission that Jared gets = 15% of 10,800

`=(15)/(100)*10800\\\\`

= 15 * 108

= $1620

2) John's commission = 15% of 3250

`=(15)/(100)*3250\\\\=0.15*3250\\\\`

= $ 487.50
