Given:

Mike gets an 8% commission on the sporting goods that he sells.

One day he sold sporting goods worth 1,384.

To find:

The commission for that day.

Solution:

According to the given information,

One day he sold sporting goods worth 1,384. Then, the commission for that day is

$\text{Commission}=\dfrac{8}{100}\times 1384$

Therefore, the commission for that day is 110.72.
