le of an investment policy. The agent had total sales of $75,000 and 6 investment policies this month. Find the commission and fees earned. (There should be 2 separate answers)
The commission is 2% so you multiply 0.02 (which is equivalent to 2%) to $75000, so he earns $1500. He sold 6 sales so he you multiply 6 by $9 and you get $54.
Using tangent, you would get an answer of around 54.949548389096. Tangent would equal: tan(20 degrees = 20/x wand upon solving x equals the answer above.
