Question

A theater technician charges a $200 flat fee and 5% of all profits from ticket sales per show. If the technician made $400.00 on a show, how much total profit was there from ticket sales

Answer 1

The profit would be 5% of 400, or $\frac{5}{100}*400=\frac{400}{20}=20$, that is, $20 for profit! Not much, I suppose...
