Question

a salesperson receives a 2.5% commission on sales. what commission does the salesperson receive for $8000 in sales?

Answer 1

The sales person receives a $200 sales commission. To get the answer, you would convert the percentage to a decimal, in this case... 2.5%, would become 0.025. You would then multiply 0.025•8000 to get your answer of $200. Which means in total, the salesperson would receive $8200.
