2) John is selling sets of knives and makes a 15%commission on all sales. What would his commission be on the sale of a $3250 set of knives?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Commission that Jared gets = 15% of 10,800

$=\frac{15}{100}*10800$

= 15 * 108

= $1620

2) John's commission = 15% of 3250

$=\frac{15}{100}*3250\\\\=0.15*3250$

= $ 487.50
