Question

You get a 3% commission on all sales. This month you made a sale $45, 050 and a sale of $6785.25. What is the commission for the month?

Answer 1

The commission for the month is $1,555.0575

Explanation:

To know how much is the commission for this month we first have to calculate the total of all sales made.

For this we are going to add the sales we make

$45,050 + $6,785.25 = $51,835.25

now that we have the total value of sales we are going to calculate 3%

3% = 3/100

3% * $51,835.25 =

3/100 * $51,835.25 = $1,555.0575

The commission for the month is $1,555.0575
