Respuesta :

Answer:

The salesperson keeps $922/The company keeps $5278

Step-by-step explanation:

16% of $6200

.16x6200= 992

The salesperson keeps $922

6200-922= 5278

The company keeps $5278

Answer:

The salesperson keeps $992 and the company keeps $5208.

Step-by-step explanation:

All you have to do to find the amount the salesperson keeps is find 16% of $6200, so to do that first convert the percent to a decimal, so 16% = 0.16. Then, you just do 0.16 * 6200 = $992.

To find how much the company keeps, do the total amount - the amount for the salesperson, so 6200 - 992 = $5208.
