Question

A salesperson earns a commission of $504 for selling 2,800 in merchandise. Find the commission rate. Write your answer as a percentage.

Answer 1

Answer:

18%

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{504}{2800}$ = $\frac{x}{100}$ ----> cross multiply

504(100) = 2800x

50400 = 2800x

$\frac{50400}{2800}$ = $\frac{2800x}{2800}$

18 = x

Commission Rate: 18%
