A stockbroker earns $53,000 annually plus 0.8% of his clients’ total investment portfolio. If his clients’ investments total $1.2 million, what is his commission this year?

Answer 1

$62,600

Explanation:

• $53,000 + 0.8% of 1.2 mill is the answer
• 0.8% = 0.8/100 = 0.008
• 0.008 x 1,200,000 = 9,600
• 53,000 + 9,600 = 62,600.

Answer 2

9,600

Explanation:

Ok the mistake yall were doing was adding 9,600 with 53,000 when they were asking for the commission so basically plus it says "what is his commission this year?"

.8%

.8 x 100 = .008

1,200,000 x .008 = 9,600
