Answer:
$420
Step-by-step explanation:
A percentage is a number out of 100. So, 17.5% is really 17.5/100, or 0.175.
To find 17.5% of 1500, you multiply 1500 by 0.175
1500 x 0.175 = 262.5.
The commission is $262.50.
Question: An aquarium is on sale for $59.50. If this price represents a 15% discount from the original price, what is the original price?
First, you multiply the sale price and the 15% discount
![$59.50*.15 = [tex]$8.92](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%2459.50%2A.15%20%3D%20%5Btex%5D%248.92)
[/tex] (To change the percent to a decimal, you take out the percentage sign and divide by 100)
Now add $59.50 to $8.92
