Question

Bill Green, a storm-door salesman, sold $5,000 worth of doors and received a commission of $400. What was his rate of commission?

Answer 1

If the total of doors you sold was $ 5,000 and you received a commission of $ 400 in total, then you can calculate your rate of commission by expressing (400/5000) * 100 = 8%. Then his rate of commission is 8.
