Question

Tyler's brother works in a shoe store. He earns a commission. He makes 2.5% of the amount he sells. Last week he sold $900 worth of shoes. How much was his commission? (step by step explanation please)

Answer 1

22.5

Explanation:

multiply 900 by .025 to get 22.5.

When you multiply by a percentage to find an amount, move the decimal place over to the left by 2 places and then multiply by the number (in this case 900). Whatever number you receive is the answer.. :)
