Question

A salesperson earns commission on the sales that she makes each month.

• The salesperson earns 8% commission on the total sales for each month.

PARTA
This month the salesperson had $10000 in sales. What amount of commission, in dollars, did she earn?

Answer 1

$800

Explanation:

We first need to turn 8% into a decimal:

8% ->
`(8)/(100)` -> 0.08

Next, multiply 10,000 by 0.08:

`x=10,000(0.08)`

`x=800`

The salesperson earned $800 worth of commission this month.
