Answer:
A. $27.23 commission
B. Store takes in $467.78 of the $495 selling price; the rest (the commission) goes to the salesperson.
Step-by-step explanation:
Selling a $495 couch will earn the salesperson a 5 1/2% commission, which is calculated as follows: (0.055)($495) = $27.23.
The store takes in $495 less the $27.23 commission: $467.78
