Question

A furniture store salesman had $15,200 in total monthly sales last month. He made $912 in commission from those sales.

Answer 1

Answer:

Commission is money paid to a person or a company for  making a sale. It is usually a percent of the sale amount.

As per the given information,

Total monthly sales last month a salesman had $15,200.

Commission he made from those sales is $912.

To find the percent of salesman's commission:

Percentage of salesman commission =$\frac{Commission made from those sale}{Total monthly sales} \times 100$

                                                        =$\frac{\ 912}{\ 15200} \times 100$$=\frac{912}{152}$

On Simplify we get,

Percentage of salesman's commission of his total monthly sales is, 6%
