Question

Tamika makes a 5.5% commission selling electronics. How much commissions does she make if she sells a flat screen tv for $10,000

Answer 1

Percentage of commission made by Tamika selling electronics = 5.5%
Cost of the flat screen television = $10000
Amount of commission made by Tamika = (5.5/100) * 10000 dollars
                                                                   = 5.5 * 100 dollars
                                                                   = (55/10) * 100 dollars
                                                                   = 55 * 10 dollars
                                                                   = 550 dollars.
So the amount of commission made by Tamika after selling a flat television for $10000 was $550. I hope this is the answer you were looking for  and i have helped you in this matter. Hopefully the procedure for doing such problems is clear to you.
