Question

Bill works as a car salesman. Last week his total sales were $23,078.00, and he received $1,384.68 in commission. What is his rate of commission?

Answer 1

The best thing to do here is to divide the larger number by the smaller number, and this will give you the answer.
23,078/1384.68 is 16.666
This means that his rate of commission is 16.666 or 1/6
Hope this helps :)
