Question

A saleswoman earns 60% commission on all the merchandise that she sells. Last month she sold $600 worth of merchandise. How much commission in dollars did she earn last month?

Answer 1

The saleswoman earned $360 commission last month.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the commission earned by the saleswoman, we need to multiply her sales by the commission rate.

Since she earns a 60% commission on all the merchandise she sells, we can calculate her commission by multiplying $600 (the amount of merchandise sold) by 0.60 (the commission rate):

Commission earned = $600 * 0.60 = $360

Therefore, the saleswoman earned $360 commission last month.
