Question

1. Annel sells a phone which costs $180 and earns 5% commission. What is the dollar
amount of commission that Annel earns?
A $189
B $9
C $109
D $90

Answer 1

Answer:

B) $9

Step-by-step explanation:

5% can also be written as 0.05

Dividing a percentage by 100 gives you decimal form.

The question is asking for the amount of commission earned, not the total amount. This means that all we have to do is do:

$180 x 0.05 = $9
