Question

Answer 1

Total Sales = 250,000

Commission is 12% of sales.

Thus, we need to find 12% of 250,000.

First, lets convert 12% to decimal by dividing by 100. Thus, we have:

12/100 = 0.12

Then we multiply this decimal with 250,000:

$\begin{gathered} 0.12\times250,000 \\ =30,000 \end{gathered}$

The commission is $30,000

Answer: C
