Answer:

$147.68

Step-by-step explanation:

All you need to do for this question is find 16.5% of $895.

To do this, convert the percentage 16.5% into a decimal, and multiply it by the amount.

16.5% = 0.165

0.165 x 895 = 147.675

Jackson will receive a $147.68 commission. (I rounded to two decimal places because the units are dollars and cents, and we don't use half cents)
