Answer 2

$285

Explanation:

So let's quickly analyze the problem, it is asking us how much Roger makes as a commission on sales if he earns 3% on sales for $9,500.

We can make the 3% into a decimal, by dividing it by a 100.

3/100=0.03

Now that we have a decimal to work with, we can multiply this to the amount of sales,

9500 x 0.03= $285 ( He earns $285 as commission for $9500)
