Question

A salesman’s commission on a 150,000 sale is 3,000. What percent is commission

Answer 1

Okay, so we need to make a proportion:

$\frac{3000}{150000}$ $\frac{x}{100}$

We multiply:

3000 x 100 = 300,000

Then we divide:

300,000 / 150,000 = 2

So, the answer would be 2%

I hope this helps! :)
