Question

A sales clerk's daily earnings include $125 per day plus commission equal to x percent of his daily sales.

Answer 1

Answer:

The commission percentage is $x=2.18\%$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The commission percentage (x) multiplied by Clerk's daily sales of $1,375 plus $150 must be equal to $180

so

The linear equation that represent this situation is

$1,375x+150=180$

Solve for x

$1,375x=180-150$

$1,375x=30$

$x=0.0218$

Convert to percentage

$x=0.0218*100=2.18\%$
