Answer 1

Hi there!

Mrs. Miller earns a commission of 6% of 179,000

The word "of" is the same thing as a multiplication sign.

6% of 179,000 = 6% × 179,000

6% = 0.06

6% × 179,000 = 0.06 × 179,000

0.06 × 179,000 = 10,740

Your answer is: Mrs. Miller earns $10,740 of commission.

There you go! I really hope this helped, if there's anything just let me know! :)
