Question

A salesman earns 9% commission on all the merchandise that he sells. Last month he sold $3000 worth of merchandise. How much commission (in dollars) did he earn last month?

Answer 1

Commission would be equal 270 dollars.

Explanation:

To solve this we would use the formula:
Commission = SP x CP

• SP would be selling price.
• CP would be the commission percentage.

Put values into the formula:
3,000 * 9%

3,000 * 9/100

30 x 9

Commission = $270

Thanks.
