Question

Chris works at a jewelry store, and he earns 4% commission on all sales that he makes. If Chris's jewelry sales total $1,370, how much will he earn in commission?

Answer 1

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf \ 54.80}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Chris earns the commission on the jewelery sales. To calculate what he earned, multiply the commission rate and his sales.

$commission= commission \ rate * sales$

His rate is 4% and his sales are $1,370

$commission= 4\% * \ 1370$

Convert the percent to a decimal. Divide by 100 or move the decimal two spots to the left.

• 4/100= 0.04
• 4.0   -->   0.4   -->   0.04

$commission= 0.04* 1370$

$commission = \ 54.8$

Chris's commission is $54.80
