Question

a stereo system cost 275 is on sale for 15% off .The sales person receives a 2% commission. How much of a commission do they receive?

Answer 1

$4.68

Explanation:

If the stereo is 15% of then you have to do 85% of 275

`.85*275= 233.75`

If the sales person only makes a 2% commission then we need to do 2% of 233.75

`.02*233.75=4.675`

Since money only goes to the hundredths place we need to round to the hundredths.

`4.68`
