Answer:

A. Staccato

Explanation:

Staccato sentences are short sentences that seem detached or separated from one another as they are abruptly disconnected. Writers or speakers tend to use this type of sentences often to break up the text of a piece of writing, to disrupt an event or emphasize the importance of a statement. This is exactly what the sentences from the excerpt shows: the author uses short sentences that do not have continuity (there are no conjunctions nor linking words to connect one sentence to the other), however, by putting the sentences in this way, the author also puts emphasis in the actions occurred in the scene.

Jake sold a total of $9,600 worth of clothing last week at his store. If his commission is 15% on sales, how much commission did
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

Jake earned $1,440 in commission.

Explanation:

Jake's commission is 15% of the amount he sells. To find the amount Jake has made in commission, we need to multiply the amount he sold, 9,600, by 15 and then divide it by 100.

9,600.15/100

=

144,000/100

=

1,440

Therefore, last week, Jake earned a total of $1,440, which is 15% of 9,600.
