Question

A salesperson earns commission on the sales that she makes each month.

• The salesperson earns 8% commission on the total sales for each month.

PARTA
This month the salesperson had $10000 in sales. What amount of commission, in dollars, did she earn?

Answer 1

Answer:

$800

Step-by-step explanation:

We first need to turn 8% into a decimal:

8% -> $\frac{8}{100}$ -> 0.08

Next, multiply 10,000 by 0.08:

$x=10,000(0.08)$

$x=800$

The salesperson earned $800 worth of commission this month.
