Question

A salesperson's commission rate is 4%. What is the commission from the sale of $32,000 worth of furnaces? Use pencil and paper. Suppose sales would double. What would be true about the commission? Explain without using any calculations.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

commission from sale of $32,000 = $32,000 x 4% = $1,280

Suppose sales would double, comission would be doubled too.

Assume sales be S and commission be C

C = S * 4% (they have a linear positive relation)

if S double to 2S, new commission = (2S)*4% = 2*(S*4%) = 2 (old commission)
