Question

Demetrius is a salesman whose base pay plus commissions amounted to

Answer 1

Answer:

A commission rate of 31%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let C represent commission rate he earned.

The equation therefore becomes 26,610 + C*79,200= 51,162

Then solve for C by first subtracting 26,610 from both sides;

79,200C = 51,162 - 26,610

79,200C= 24,552

Next, divide both sides by 79,200 to get;

C=24,552 / 79,200

C= 0.31 or 31%

Therefore, Demetrius earned a commission rate of 31%.
