Answer:

$340

Explanation:

Given:

Jim is paid 17% for every ad he sells.

He sold an ad today for $2000

Now we have to find the commission.

The commission rate is 17%

If he sells $100, then he gets $17 as commission.

To find the commission on sale ad of $2000, we have to multiply 2000 by 17%

17% of 2000

=
(17)/(100) *2000

We can simplify 2000 by 100, we get

= 17*20

Commission = $340

He gets $340 as commission for the ad sale of $2000.
