Question

A store bought a microwave at a cost of $50 and marked it up 100%. Stanley, who works as a salesperson at the store, makes a 19% commission on all of his sales. Yesterday morning, Stanley sold the microwave. How much commission did he make from this sale?

Answer 1

The new cost of the microwave is $100 now as it is double of its previous price. If Stanley earns 19% commission of $100 he earned $19.
