Answer 2

Answer:

His rate of commission is 5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Phil Smith is a car salesman.

Last week his total sales amounted = $27,650.00

He received his commission on this sale = $1,382.50

The rate of commission = $\frac{1382.50}{27650}\times 100$

                                       = 0.05 × 100

                                       = 5%

His rate of commission is 5%.
