Question

Alonzo earns 8% commission on vacuum cleaner sales. This past month, Alonzo sold 70 units at $150.00 each. How much did Alonzo make in commissions for the past month?

price of 70 vacuum cleaner sold = 70*$150 = $10,500

commission of Alonzo = 8% of total vacuum cleaner sold

commission of Alonzo = 8% of $10,500

commission of Alonzo = 8 /100 * $10,500 = $840

Thus, Alonzo made $840 in past month
