Question

Destiny works on commission as an office supply saleswoman. She sold a computer that cost $700 and received a $126 commission.

What percent of her sale is Destiny's commission?

Answer 1

Hello,

If you want to find the percentage of anything, simply divide how much of the total number by the total number. 126 ÷ 700, which is 0.18.

To turn the decimal into a percentage, simply move the decimal place two places to the right, and it is now 18%.

In conclusion, she earned 18% of her sale. Hope this helps! =)
