Answer 1

Answer:

$43.95

Explanation:

We are given that

Daniel makes commission on everything he sells=15%

Daniel sell laptop=S.P=$293.00

We have to find the money made by Daniel in commission.

15 % convert into fraction

When we convert percentage into fraction then we write 100 in denominator.

15%=$\frac{15}{100}$

Now, multiply $\frac{15}{100}$ with 293

$\frac{15}{100}\times 293=43.95$

15% of $ 293=$43.95

The money made by Daniel in commission=$43.95

Hence, Daniel makes money in commission=$43.95

Answer 2

Take $293 and multiply that by his percentage .15. 293 x .15 = $43.95. So he earned $43.95 in commission for that laptop.
