Question

Sharon earns a commission at tabletop stereo of 12% for all monthly sales over 40,000 last month she sold 42,700 of stereo equipment. How much commission did she earn

Answer 1

First, lets find what 12% is of 40,000
12 -> .12
40,000 * .12 = 4800
she then sold an extra 2,700
Same thing,
.12 * 2,700 = 324
add up the numbers and..,
4800 + 324 = 5124
Sharon earned $5,124 in commission.
