Question

PLEASE HELP, TWENTY POINTS!!!!!!!!!!! Ezra earns 20% commission as a sales person. He sold a grandfather clock that cost $968.70. How much commission did Ezra earn?

Answer 1

Answer:

193.74 is the swear

Step-by-step explanation:

What you can do is divide 20 by 10 to get 0.20. Then you multiply by 968.70

So 0.20 x 968.70 = 193.74

So 193.74 is the commission Ezra earned.

To check the answer you just add it like this 100% +20% or 0.20

Then multiply that like this 120% is 1.20, so 1.20 x 968.70 = 1,162.44

to check you just inverse it 1,162.44 - 968.70 = 193.74.

So it is accurate.
