Question

Williams makes a commission of 6% on everything he sells. if he sold a computer for $764.00, how much money would he make in commission

Answer 1

If he sold the computer for $764.00, the money he will make on the commission would be 6% of his sales, i.e. 6% of $764.00

$\text{commision=percentage commission }\times sales\text{ price}$

$\begin{gathered} \text{commission}=\frac{6}{100}\times764 \\ =\frac{6\times764}{100} \\ =\frac{4584}{100} \\ =\text{ \ 45.84} \end{gathered}$

The amount he would make as the commission is $45.84
