Question

A car salesman had $65,100 in total monthly sales last month. He made $1,953 in commission from those sales.

What is the salesman's commission as a percent of his total monthly sales?

Answer 1

the answer is 3%

Answer 2

Total: $65, 100
Made: $1,953
100% percent is what we will be using to solve this problem.

1953x100=195,300

195,300/65,100

The percentage of that would be 3%. His commission as a percent of his tota monthly sales would have to be 3%.
