Question

Answer 1

Given:

Jamie receives 15% commission on magazine subscriptions.

One week her sales totaled $860.

To find:

Her commission.

Solution:

We have,

Total sales of one week = $860

Rate of commission = 15%

Now,

$Commission=\dfrac{15}{100}\times 860$

$Commission=\dfrac{15}{10}\times 86$

$Commission=\dfrac{1290}{10}$

$Commission=129$

Therefore, the amount of commission is $129.
