Question

Danny sells food for a company that markets its products to restaurants. He earns 15% commission on his sales. Last month, he sold 16,000 worth of food to restaurants. How much did Danny earn last month?

Answer 1

$2,400

Explanation:

This is a very simple problem. Simply type the following into a calculator: 0.15*16000, and you should get 2400.

We have to turn the percentage into a decimal less than one because 15% represents 15/100.
