Question

The owner of the Carousel Art Gallery receives a commission of 20% on paintings that are sold on consignment. Find the commission on a painting that sold for $22,500.​

Answer 1

Answer:

So, $4,500 is the commission on the painting.

Step-by-step explanation:

Selling Price of the painting =  $22,500.​

Commission Percentage = 20%

Now, we know that commission is always applied on the selling price of the object.

So, 20% of $22, 500 = $\frac{20}{100} \times 22,500 = 4,500$

So, 20% of $22,500 = $4,500

So, $4,500 is the commission on the painting sold at the gallery.
