Question

Dimitri is paid 8 percent commission on his total sales every pay period. Last pay period, he sold $6,300 worth of items. After a state tax of 6 percent is deducted from his commission, how much is left to the nearest dollar?

Answer 1

Answer:

$ 474 is left.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The amount at which the items are sold  = $ 6,300,

Also, commission percentage = 8 %,

Thus, commission = 8% of 6300

$=\frac{8\times 6300}{100}$

$=\frac{50400}{100}$

$=\ 504$

Now, deducted tax percentage on commission = 6%,

Hence, the left amount of commission = commission - 6% of the commission

$=504-\frac{6\times 504}{100}$

$=504-\frac{3024}{100}$

$=504-30.24$

$=\ 473.76$

$\approx \ 474$

Answer 2

Ok......... so ignore the pay part, that is not his pay but the 8% comission inclusive of the tax
