Question

Paul’s commission for selling snowboards is 8% of sales. Last month, he sold snowboards worth $3,500. How much will he get paid in commission?

Answer 1

Answer:

280 $

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find how much will Paul get paid in commission as follows:

$G = \%*S$   (1)

Where:

G: are the gains

S: are the sales = 3500$

% = is the commission of the sales = 8%

By entering the above values into equation (1) we have:

$G = \%*S = \frac{8}{100}*3500 = 280$  

Therefore, he will get paid 280 $ in commission.

I hope it helps you!
