Question

Karaline works at an antique store and earns commission on her total sales each week. Her weekly paycheck was in the amount of $5,000 including her salary of $500. Her sales for the week totaled $30,000. What percent commission does Karaline receive on antique sales?

Answer 1

Answer:

15%

Step-by-step explanation:

Total paycheck = $5000

Fixed salary= $500

The total paycheck combines salary and commission hence to get commission only, we subtract salary from total paycheck hence 5000-500=4500

Percentage of commission  =$\frac {4500}{30000}\times 100=15$

Therefore, commission was 15% of the sales
