Question

A car salesman earns a 20% commission on every car that he sells. Approximately what commission would he make if he sold a car for $9,895?

Answer 1

First you are going to multiply the number by the percent. 9,895 x 20= 197,900.

Now divide the answer by 100. 197,900 / 100= 1,979.

This means the car salesman should make 1,979 from the car sale.

Remember, multiply the number by the percent, then divide that answer by 100.

I hope this helps! :)
