Given:

Last month sales = $900

Rate of commission = 20%

To find:

How much commission (in dollars) did she earn last month?

Solution:

We have, 20% rate of commission. So, the commission for the last month is equal to 20% of last month sales $900.

$\text{Commission}=(20)/(100)* 900$

$\text{Commission}=20* 9$

$\text{Commission}=180$

Therefore, the commission for the last month is $180.
