Question

George ends in 9% commission on all of the sale. We head south of $89,400 for the month. Here’s works for a different company, and also sold $89,400 for the month but made $447 more than George. What is Harris’s commission rate?

Answer 1

9.5%

Explanation:

As a percentage of sales, Harris's earnings were ...

447/89400 × 100% = 0.5%

more than George's.

Harris's commission rate must be 9% + 0.5% = 9.5%.
