Question

A sales representative is paid a commission rate of 5.1%. Find her commission if she sold $66,770 worth of goods last month.

Answer 1

Explanation: Here we are working with percentages. So when we have a 5.1% we can represent it as

$\frac{5.1\%}{100\%}=0.051$

Step 1: So once the sales representative has sold $66,770 we can calculate her commission as follows

$66,770\cdot0.051=3405.27$

Final answer: So her commission last month was $3405.27
