Question

Jason sold a car for $ 12,000. His commission on selling the car is 2.5% of the selling price. What is Jason's commission?

Answer 1

His commission is 2.5% of 12000 so we multiply.

12000 × 2.5% =
12000 × .025 =
300

$300 is the commission

Answer 2

You have to multiply the price of the car and by the percent. You with have to convert the percent into a decimal by moving it 2 spaces to the left. Then you get your answer of $ 300
