Question

mike makes a commission of 10% on each tv set sold at store. Each tv costs $120. how much money will he make as commission if store sells 25 tv sets?

Answer 1

First, find the commission Mike makes per TV by turning the percentage into a decimal and multiply.

10% / 100 = 0.1

120 * 0.1 = $12 per TV.

Second, find the commission Mike receives selling 25 television by multiplying.

12 * 25 = $300

Therefore, Mike makes a comission of $300 selling 25 TV's.

Best of Luck!

Answer 2

The answer is he will make $300 commission for 25 TV sets sold.  The first thing you need to do is find out how much commission he makes on each TV. So we take $120 and divide by 10% and that gives us $12.  So $12 is the amount of commission per TV. Then we just need to multiply the $12 by 25 TV sets. That gives us the answer of $300 commission total.

A second way to solve this problem is by taking the $120 and multiplying that by the 25 TV sets.  That gives you $3,000 total for the 25 TV sets.  Then you just divide the 10% commission Mike will make.  That also gives you the answer of $300 commission.
