Question

Employees at Company A earn 4% commission on sales. Employees at Company B earl 2/3 of what Company A employees earn. How much would a Company B employee earn on $13,595?

Answer 1

First let's see how much commission an employee would get by earning 13595 at Company A:

$(13595)\cdot(0.04)=543.80$

Since employees at Company B earn 2/3 of what Company A employees earn, we would have:

$(543.80)\cdot\frac{2}{3}=\frac{543.80\cdot2}{3}=362.53$

Therefore, a Company B employee would earn $362.53 on $13595
